Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 2 November 2015 to Question 13923, what recent progress his Department has made on issuing a public consultation on reforming the law on level crossings.

The Department is continuing to develop its response to the Law Commission’s recommendations on the reform of level crossing legislation in conjunction with stakeholders.

We expect to finalise our deliberations shortly with a view to consultation on preferred options later this year.
