Network Rail: Redundancy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential implications for her policies of the recently announced 870 job losses at Network Rail.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Network Rail is committed to delivering a safe, reliable railway while reducing costs for taxpayers. Accordingly, it needs to ensure it operates as efficiently as possible. To achieve this, Network Rail is reviewing how it operates across its business. In the review, safety remains the top priority and the efficiency proposals being made focus on management grades and contractors, not frontline operational roles.
