Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Kramer on 16 October (HL2006), now that the European Commission has concluded its procedures, when they expect to ratify the Luxembourg Rail Protocol.

Now that the procedures around the European Union acceding to it have recently been concluded, the Government will now start the process of considering what it needs to do to ratify the Protocol.
