Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will publish the Equality Impact Assessments undertaken by his Department on the recently proposed closures of rail ticket offices in England.

These were industry led proposals to provide more help and advice in customer-focussed roles and operators made their Equality Impact Assessment’s (EIA) available online during the consultation period.
