This may mean restoring some sites to their former condition; it may also mean leaving some early environmental enhancement works in place. No sites will be left incomplete, and all close-down activities will be funded from the HS2 budget.</p> answering member printed Lord Davies of Gower question first answered 15/12/2023 11:54:47 answering member 4499 label Biography information for Lord Davies of Gower

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2023 answer text <p>The Government recognises the significant impact that rail industrial action has on businesses and individuals. That is why the Transport Secretary and Rail Minister have facilitated discussions between industry and trade unions to help resolve current disputes. We are pleased that RMT, TSSA and Unite have now ended disputes with the train operators, with further discussions to follow on important workforce reforms.</p><p> </p><p>ASLEF are now the only union left in dispute. We have urged ASLEF to put the current offer on the table, facilitated by Ministers, to their members but they still refuse to do so. The Department for Transport also works with its contracted train operators to ensure that disruption from strikes is minimised as much as possible.</p> answering member printed Lord Davies of Gower question first answered 15/12/2023 11:52:57 answering member 4499 label Biography information for Lord Davies of Gower

tabling member printed	Viscount Waverley
uin	HL1011
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2023 answer text <p>Assessments of Generation Logistics have been completed by both the Department for Transport and the industry campaign programme team. Positive messages about the logistics sector and its career pathways have been spread amongst under-represented groups through the first year of the campaign. It exceeded expectations by achieving over 3.5 million engagements with social media activities and 789,000 visits to its online hub. Since establishing an Ambassadors Network, over 330 logistics professionals are now championing this important sector through engagement opportunities with young people.</p><p>We consider Generation Logistics to have been successful in its aim of raising awareness of, and positive sentiment towards, the logistics sector. Following the launch of its second year in October, we continue to work closely with The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, Logistics UK, and all the campaign sponsors and partners, to ensure this messaging reaches young people in schools and colleges. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the campaign as it progresses through its second year to determine the merits of further funding.</p> answering member printed Lord Davies of Gower question first answered 19/12/2023 13:51:33 answering member 4499 label Biography information for Lord Davies of Gower
