HC Deb 09 April 2003 vol 403 cc260-1W
Mr. Collins

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the adequacy of information collected on incidents affecting passenger(a) experiences and (b) perceptions of personal safety when using the railways; and if he will make a statement. [106882]

Mr. Jamieson

The British Transport Police records all reported crime on the railways in accordance with Home Office instructions and standards. The Strategic Rail Authority's twice yearly "National Passenger Survey" includes questions on passengers' perceptions of safety. The survey is carried out to an approved methodology in accordance with Market Research Society's codes of conduct.
