§ Mr. George RobertsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many staff have left ScotRail since January 1993 under redundancy or early retirement arrangements; and what has been the total cost of payments made to those staff. [5513]
§ Mr. Watts[holding answer 12 December 1995]: The total number of staff to leave the ScotRail Train Operating Company since 1 April 1994 equates to 218 staff at a cost of £3,475,500.
