Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the policy paper entitled Great British Railways: Williams-Shapps plan for rail, published by his Department on 20 May 2021, whether trade unions have been consulted on the proposal for the Office of Rail and Road to publish data on rail workers salaries.

A modern and sustainable rail industry will benefit from increased transparency and the ability to compare its practices with similar sectors.
