question text	To ask His Majesty's Government whether there have been improvements in train running times and cancellation rates, following the pay deal agreed with ASLEF in September; and what further improvements they expect to see as a result of that pay deal that do not require changes in working conditions.
tabling member printed	Baroness Cavendish of Little Venice
uin	HL1927
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2024 answer text <p>The pay agreement with ASLEF has brought an end to over two years of damaging national industrial action which was very disruptive to passengers. Industrial relations have also been reset to enable delivery of a reformed railway that works for everyone. However, because the agreement is so recent, the Department does not yet hold national data to show the extent to which this has directly improved train running times or cancellation dates, which are influenced by a range of factors including seasonal effects.</p> answering member printed Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill question first answered 29/10/2024 16:32:10 answering member 4972 label Biography information for Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill

These require government departments, under certain circumstances, to offer back surplus land to the former owner or the former owner’s successors at the current market value.</p><p> </p><p>In the majority of cases, where agricultural land acquired for HS2 is not required operationally, former owners are offered the opportunity to continue to use and farm the land. This is documented by way of either a licence or Farm Business Tenancy depending on the circumstances and proposed use of the land.</p> answering member printed Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill question first answered 29/10/2024 16:31:35 answering member 4972 label Biography information for Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill
