Public Transport: Crimes of Violence
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) 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 legal protections against assaults at work for public transport workers. Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) There is no place for abuse or assault of any worker. Public transport workers and the wider public should be assured that where offenders commit acts of violence they will be arrested and brought before the courts. The British Transport Police have a specific remit to protect all rail staff and passengers.
Public transport workers do of course already have extensive protection in existing legislation such as the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 which also covers more serious violence such as actual bodily harm (ABH) and grievous bodily harm (GBH), and courts must already consider offences against public facing workers as an aggravating factor under the Police Crime and Sentencing Act 2022. We therefore do not believe that any further legal protections are necessary or would reduce assaults.

Public Transport: Crimes of Violence
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) 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 potential merits of a standalone offence of assaulting a public transport worker. Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) There is no place for abuse or assault of any worker. Public transport workers and the wider public should be assured that where offenders commit acts of violence they will be arrested and brought before the courts.

We therefore do not believe that creating a specific offence would have the intended purpose of reducing assaults. |

Public Transport: Crimes of Violence
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Thursday 4th December 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether protections against assaults for retail workers in the Crime and Policing Bill will apply to public transport workers involved in the retail of (a) refreshments and (b) rail products and tickets. Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office) Assaults against retail workers will be covered by a new offence which we are introducing via the Crime and Policing Bill. Our definition of retail worker captures someone working in or about retail premises for or on behalf of the owner or occupier of the retail premises. Our definition is intentionally narrow, and does not include hospitality or transport staff, given the vital need to provide legal clarity and ensure there is no ambiguity for courts in identifying whether an individual is a retail worker and impacted during their job. Any ambiguity in identifying whether an individual is a retail worker, will likely lead the courts to take the case forward as common assault meaning specific recording attributed to a retail worker would not occur. |
