  Before we come to Transport questions, I wish to pay tribute to a former colleague, David Winnick, who died yesterday. David served as a Member of Parliament for 42 years, initially as the MP for Croydon South and then, notably, from 1979 to 2017 as the MP for Walsall North. He was a dedicated member of the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly, including as its co-chair. David was also a long-standing member of the Home Affairs Committee. I am sure that Members from across the House will join me in sending our condolences to David’s family and friends, who are very much in our thoughts today. Let us move on to questions to the Secretary of State for Transport, and may I wish a happy birthday to Lilian Greenwood?

  Order. We still have a lot of Members to get in. The hon. Gentleman is clearly riled by this issue and keeps raising it, so he might be better off applying for an Adjournment debate.

  Once again, as I said last week, I do not have responsibility for, or authority over, answers. It is incumbent on Ministers to try to ensure that there is an answer, but it is not for me to judge whether the answer is correct. That would be politicising the Chair. If that is what the House wishes to do, it can by all means do that, but I have not got that power.
