Railways: Accountability
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to introduce additional independent oversight mechanisms beyond the Office of Rail and Road.
Answered by Keir Mather
GBR will be required to deliver transparently. As the single shareholder of GBR, the Transport Secretary will have oversight of GBR, supported by independent monitoring and scrutiny by ORR. An independent Passenger Watchdog will also ensure passenger interests are clearly represented.
