	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2018 answer text <p>The cessation of tolling at the Severn Bridges will remove the need for staff roles that are involved directly in frontline tolling operations or back office support. On 12 October 2018, Highways England notified those affected that they were at potential risk of redundancy, and commenced a formal minimum 45 day consultation period with recognised Trade Unions and individuals to determine those interested in redeployment and outplacement learning. This will include practical training, emotional and coaching support and opportunities for individuals. Highways England will undertake and complete outplacement learning and support following completion of this current consultation process for those individuals who require this.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 26/10/2018 10:43:57 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
