These amendments were tabled in the Commons and debated in Committee there, but the issue was not addressed directly in the Minister’s reply. Members of the RMT’s parliamentary group wrote asking for a meeting on this and related matters, and that meeting has not taken place. The question I ask my noble friend Minister is a straightforward one: are the Government able to end the uncertainty facing rail workers and to confirm that it remains their intention, as set out in Labour’s plan for rail, that Great British Railways will be a new single employer? If that confirmation cannot be given today, will the Minister agree to meet to discuss the matter before Report?
