I move amendment No. 7:

In page 56, between lines 12 and 13, to insert the following:

"(h) requirements to avoid accidental obstruction of railway infrastructure by road vehicles by establishing—

(i) criteria for the apportionment of responsibility and cost of improvements to be made at locations where roads meet, cross or run close to railways,

(ii) guidelines on enhanced risk assessments and physical measures to reduce risk of vehicles accidentally leaving the road and obstructing railway infrastructure,

(iii) reporting mechanisms to identify relevant information on incidents involving vehicles, which obstruct railway infrastructure,".

On Committee Stage the Minister of State said he would reconsider this amendment. Has he done so?
