answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2018 answer text <p>Further to the Written Answer to HL9184, specific ministerial responsibilities are not broken down in this manner. In addition, day to day responsibility for industrial relations and disputes in the rail sector lie with the individual employers, such as transport operators and trades unions. The Minister of State for Transport has no formal role in this relationship.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>However, the Minister often meets with officials to discuss policy areas relating to rail industrial relations and receives regular weekly updates on industrial relations disputes. Also, when the Minister meets the industry’s employers, part of that engagement may include an update on their plans for improving industrial relations. In addition, where there are industry-wide questions that could benefit from engagement with trade unions then, where appropriate, the Minister may seek discussion with them. For example, invitations to meet with the Minister have been extended to ASLEF, RMT, TSSA and Unite to discuss the development of an approach for the rail industry to move towards adopting CPI as the inflation measure for industry costs and fare rises. As at 6 September, the Department for Transport has not received any positive responses to these invitations.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg grouped question UIN HL10011 HL10012 question first answered 18/09/2018 11:35:13 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
