Broadband: Oxfordshire
Asked by: Olly Glover (Liberal Democrat - Didcot and Wantage) Tuesday 18th November 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether her Department plans to reintroduce the gigabit voucher scheme in Oxfordshire. Answered by Kanishka Narayan - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) As part of Project Gigabit, Gigaclear is delivering two contracts across Oxfordshire, with a combined value of £26.5 million, to provide gigabit-capable broadband to premises not included in suppliers’ commercial rollout plans. Approximately 9,500 premises across Oxfordshire are currently included in these contracts, which are being delivered until the end of 2026. The Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme, which forms another part of Project Gigabit, is currently closed in the Oxfordshire area as our priority currently is to provide gigabit coverage to as many premises as possible through Gigaclear’s contracts. We will aim to cover the remaining premises as far as possible as funding becomes available, in line with the objective of achieving nationwide gigabit coverage by 2032. |

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) Officials from the Department for Transport are working closely with Network Rail to produce their new 'Long-term Planning for Rail Decarbonisation' strategy, this strategy will include an examination of the whole life costs of each option to upgrade traction to set out a realistic, affordable, and deliverable approach to a net zero railway. We expect Network Rail to engage with industry as part of the development of this strategy and we expect to see a draft of this strategy before the end of this year. |

Railways: Electrification
Asked by: Olly Glover (Liberal Democrat - Didcot and Wantage) Tuesday 18th November 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pu if she will list all reports and documents that train operators have (a) submitted to and (b) discussed with her Department on the reliability of battery (i) bi-mode, (ii) tri-mode, (iii) battery/electric hybrid and (iv) fully electric trains. Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) Department officials are working closely with train operators and Network Rail to build a full understanding of the different traction opportunities as we work towards Net Zero in rail by 2050.
The rail industry has developed a range of evidence supporting the known case for the reliability and performance benefits of electric traction over diesel traction in rail. This includes work by the Rail Safety & Standards Board, the Railway Industry Association, and Network Rail, examples of which are provided below.
It is also important to note that these technologies, particularly battery, are rapidly developing and our understanding is constantly growing with the support of Network Rail and our train operators.

5 Nov 2025
Railways Bill Transport Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The Government has introduced the Railways Bill to Parliament to legislate for its commitment to unify network operations with infrastructure management under a single organisation – Great British Railways. The Bill is expected to go through ‘line by line’ scrutiny by a Public Bill Committee, which is separate to the Transport Committee. Given the significant public interest and the centrality of this legislation to the Government’s rail policy, the Transport Committee plans to make its own contribution to ensuring that the Bill contains the necessary means to deliver on that policy. We plan to focus our scrutiny on three themes: passenger standards and experience, access to the railway, and the role of devolution in the GBR era. |
