Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with Network Rail on the safety of the (a) rail bridges, (b) cuttings and (c) tunnels in (i) Liverpool and (ii) Liverpool, Wavertree constituency.
The Secretary of State has regular discussions with Network Rail, as the infrastructure owner, to discuss a wide range of topics which have included the collapse of the wall outside Liverpool Lime Street Station on 28 February 2017. We look to Network Rail and the Office of Rail and Road (as the regulator) to ensure that the infrastructure is fit for purpose.
