Northern: Private Prosecutions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will have discussions with Northern Rail on its use of private prosecutions.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
We expect Northern to ensure their policy on fare evasion and prosecutions is clear and fair for passengers at all times and have instructed the operator to review the details of the prosecution cases in question urgently.
