answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2020 answer text <p>Providing notes of (a) meetings between Network Rail and Ministers and officials about train services in the West Midlands would involve disproportionate costs to collect and collate as the request covers interactions with five train operating companies, which are likely to be commercially sensitive so would also require redacting. As regards (b) the Department would not have access to notes of any meetings between Network Rail and the Mayor of the West Midlands about train services in the West Midlands.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 24/02/2020 16:11:35 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
