answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2024 answer text <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> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 15/05/2024 14:06:51 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman

This would deliver value for money for the taxpayer and could create as many as 10,000 new homes and opportunities for businesses to thrive. Bringing HS2 to Euston will help grow the economy whilst unlocking much needed homes, jobs and commercial opportunities in the area.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 13/05/2024 15:21:09 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
