Grant Shapps The UK Secretary of State for Transport will be on the Question Time panel this evening as the UK Government’s representative. Viewers can expect some clashes over the government’s Covid response, travel rules and more. Shapps was also recently involved in a significant rail reform in England, which included the creation of a new public body called Great British Railways (GBR) taking over responsibility for managing infrastructure, issuing contracts to train operators, setting fares and selling tickets. The former Conservative chairman recently made headlines after he said a loophole that will not allow disgraced MP Rob Roberts to lose his seat for breaching sexual misconduct rules needed to be closed. He said: “Although it’s a decision for the House of Commons, I rather agree that this loophole does need to be closed.”
