Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether under the terms of the emergency recovery management agreement between his Department and First Trenitalia West Coast, he has given a mandate in relation to Atalian Servest’s current pay arrangements at Alstom’s Traincare depots.

There is no contractual relationship between First Trenitalia West Coast Rail Ltd, the Departments contractual partner, and Atalian Servest. The pay arrangements of Atalian Servest is a matter for Atalian Servest.
