Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to help ensure the safety of all rail passengers (a) at railway stations and (b) on trains in the context of increases in the number of incidents of antisemitism and Islamophobia.
Answered by Huw Merriman - Minister of State (Department for Transport)
The Secretary of State and I have been closely involved in discussions between the Department and the British Transport Police (BTP) on the impact of and approach to managing protests at railway stations, as well as monitoring any increases in incidents of antisemitism and Islamophobia.
Abuse, intimidation or violence – especially that which is religiously motivated - will never be tolerated on the railway. BTP officers will not hesitate to take robust action against those who seek to cause harm or hate.
