There are some important points of clarity in other amendments in this group, including that from the noble Lord, Lord Davies of Brixton, on staff transferring to a single employer—something I recall my noble friend Baroness Randerson raising in debate on the public ownership of the railways legislation some two years ago. So many different terms and conditions exist, so an understanding for all rail staff would be welcome. But there are some serious worries. In particular, the noble Lord, Lord Harper, set out the example of NHS England, which is very relevant here. Many Members across the House have commented that I am covering both health and railways. There are many similarities between both Bills, and that is just one of them. I just have to switch “passengers” and “patients” around.
