The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will publish the number of (a) civil servants from the Department of Transport, (b) civil servants from other Government departments, (c) employees from Network Rail and (d) employees from other public and private sector organisations who are expected to move from their current roles to roles within Great British Railways.

Answered by Keir Mather

While details on exact roles are subject to further design work, Great British Railways (GBR) will continue to need colleagues from across the railway to continue the hard work that they do delivering for passengers. We will continue to engage with the industry on our plans for GBR.
