Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has received a supply chain development plan from Siemens or Talgo as part of their commitment to build new train factories.
This question was answered on 9th April 2019
The Department has not received a supply chain development plan from either manufacturer. However, Talgo has made a commitment that it will create five jobs in the supply chain for every job it creates in its UK facility should it be successful in winning manufacturing contracts. Siemens expects to indirectly create 1,700 jobs in the supply chain through its UK facility.
