West Coast Main Line: Standards
Asked by: Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat - Westmorland and Lonsdale) Friday 4th September 2026 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many times trains have been delayed or cancelled on the West Coast Main Line due to livestock being on the line in 2021-2022, 2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26. Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The Department does not hold data on delays and cancellations caused by livestock on the West Coast Main Line, as Network Rail records such incidents at a regional level. The closest available data is for Network Rail's North West and Central region, which includes the West Coast Main Line.
The number of livestock-related incidents, associated delay minutes and cancellations recorded in the North West and Central region were:

Water Companies: Standards
Asked by: Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat - Westmorland and Lonsdale) Monday 14th September 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what level of debt-to-equity ratio and other financial resilience thresholds her Department considers indicative of a water company's failure to manage its affairs. Answered by Emma Hardy - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Ofwat issues clear guidance on efficient debt-to-equity ratios and on higher debt-to-equity ratios which are inconsistent with good financial resilience. It considers that 55% is an efficient ratio and that gearing above 70% may present a risk to long-term financial resilience. Some water companies have significantly higher debt than these thresholds. In the Water White Paper, the Government committed to consider how the regulator can work with companies and investors to ensure companies do not accumulate unmanageable levels of debt. |
