Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what data her Department holds on trends in the number of people employed in the public transport sector.

The Department for Transport does not hold data on trends on the number of people employed in the public transport sector specifically. The Department for Transport publishes statistics on the number of people employed in transport related occupations and industries in Great Britain, including trends over time from 2003.

These statistics are published as part of Transport Statistics Great Britain and are available in Table TSGB0116: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/tsgb01-modal-comparisons#employment-in-transport-related-occupations.
