<p>Negotiations must take place between the employer, which the Rail Delivery Group
has done on behalf of the train operators, and the trade union over its dispute. The
Government has no role in these negotiations and discussions. We remain committed
to supporting the parties in the resolution of industrial action and the Secretary
of State and I have previously met with all the rail unions to help facilitate discussions
with the rail industry. ASLEF is the only trade union in a national level dispute,
and we continue to urge them to put the industry’s offer to its members so that their
dispute can be settled. On 13 May I met with ASLEF. I am also due to meet the RMT
on 20 May.</p><p> </p>
