Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they plan to bring forward legislative proposals related to the recommendations of the Law Commission’s report on level crossings, published in September 2013.

It remains our intention to reform the legislation on level crossings as soon as the Parliamentary timetable allows. In the meantime, we are in discussion with the Office of Rail and Road on how the current arrangements for approving works at level crossings can be streamlined and improved. We expect to be in a position to report on these shortly.
