Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions (a) he, (b) the Minister of State for Rail and (c)HS2 have had with the Rail Delivery Group on industrial action on the railways.
The Secretary of State and I regularly meet with industry to discuss a wide range of topics, including industrial action. HS2 has had no recent discussions with the Rail Delivery Group regarding industrial action because they are not due to operate rail services until 2029-2033.
