The meeting will begin at 9.30am and will see the ministers questioned on the future of Great British Railways, Northern Powerhouse Rail and plans to change the law on industrial action.

Trevelyan will also speak about her policies and priorities.

This week, it was announced Tevelyan has taken on responsibility for maritime issues including the cruise industry rather than delegating to a junior minister.

She has assumed the role alongside her overall responsibilities at the Department for Transport plus security, civil contingencies and supply chains.
