Railways: Security
Asked by: Kim Johnson (Labour - Liverpool Riverside) Thursday 4th December 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of (a) spending by the rail industry on private security and (b) her Department's funding for the British Transport Police. Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The Department is committed to working with the rail industry as we move towards the creation of Great British Railways to ensure that security provision on the network keeps staff and passengers safe. The Department are currently undertaking analysis of private security spend by the 14 train operating companies that have been or are due to be nationalised.
The British Transport Police (BTP) budget is set by the British Transport Police Authority (BTPA). BTP's costs are passed on to individual Train Operating Companies and Network Rail. BTPA sets the BTP’s budget annually following proposals from the Force and views from industry. BTP work closely with BTPA and industry operators to make final resourcing decisions with their agreed budget.
In the year 2025/26 BTP received a 5.9% budget increase. The budget for 2026/27 will be set by the BTPA imminently following engagement with the rail industry. Like other police forces the BTP has operational independence, so the BTP Chief Constable and Chief Officers use a variety of data to inform the deployment of officers and other resources, following the agreement of the budget. |

Railways: Security
Asked by: Kim Johnson (Labour - Liverpool Riverside) Thursday 4th December 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made on (a) value for money and (b) quality of service of bringing outsourced rail security provision in-house as contracts expire. Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) Ensuring value for money is a requirement for all DfT contracted train operators. Publicly owned train operators also have a duty to follow the guidance on managing public money. |

Social Rented Housing: Construction
Asked by: Kim Johnson (Labour - Liverpool Riverside) Thursday 4th December 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will make it mandatory for all new housing development projects to ensure that 50% of the developed units are built for social rent, allowing the remaining 50% to be used for affordable or market-rate/luxury housing. Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) makes clear that local authorities should assess the size, type, and tenure of housing needed for different groups, including those who require affordable housing (including Social Rent), and reflect this in their planning policies. This includes setting out the proportion and type of affordable housing that should be expected of new development, including the minimum proportion of Social Rent. Policy requirements, particularly for affordable housing, should be set at a level that takes account of affordable housing and infrastructure needs and allows for the planned types of sites and development to be deliverable, without the need for further viability assessment at the decision-making stage. |

Asked by: Kim Johnson (Labour - Liverpool Riverside) Thursday 4th December 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which of the train companies contracted to the DfT have outsourced security contracts; and the value and length of those contracts are. Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The majority of DfT contracted train operators have contracts for specialist passenger facing security provision. Contract details for public sector operators can be found at this link https://www.gov.uk/contracts-finder. Details of private sector operators’ contracts are commercially confidential. |

Schools: Adrenaline Auto-injectors
Asked by: Kim Johnson (Labour - Liverpool Riverside) Monday 22nd December 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make it mandatory for all schools to hold spare AAIs, and ensure relevant staff are trained in their use. Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) The Human Medicines (Amendment) Regulations 2017 have allowed all schools to buy adrenaline auto-injectors (AAI devices) without a prescription for emergency use on children who are at risk of anaphylaxis but whose own device is not available or not working.
The Department of Health and Social Care has published non-statutory guidance to accompany this legislative change, which is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/using-emergency-adrenaline-auto-injectors-in-schools.
The department is working with DHSC and NHS England to consider how we might extend the availability of adrenaline auto-injectors in schools.
