The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 24 November 2025 to Question 90394 on the Restoring Your Railways Fund, if she will publish the equality impact assessment completed by her Department of the decision to close the Restoring Your Railways programme.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Department had due regard for the Public Sector Equalities Duty, and completed an Equalities Impact Assessment related to the closure of the Restoring Your Railway programme. The Department does not habitually publish such advice and legal compliance documents in this manner and it would not be appropriate to do so in this case.
