Transport (including Topical Questions)

MPs question a government minister

MPs will question the Transport Secretary on departmental policy and priorities. Topical questions allow members to raise urgent or current transport issues—such as rail franchises, bus services, road safety, airport capacity, or modal policy shifts—without advance notice. This session tests the government's readiness and accountability on live transport challenges.

Transport underpins the economy, employment, and daily life for millions. Oral questions to Transport hold the department accountable on delivery of manifesto commitments (Labour committed to renationalising railways and boosting bus services) and allow rapid parliamentary scrutiny of emerging problems—delays, strikes, safety incidents, or funding gaps—that affect commuters and freight operators.
