answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2018 answer text <p>In January 2017, Southern launched the on-board supervisor on routes where the technology allows the driver to control the doors. The conductors on these services were moved to an on-board supervisor (OBS) role. Since then approximately 1.3% of these services have operated without their rostered on-board supervisor for the full journey. This only happens in certain exceptional circumstances such as staff sickness or the second staff member running late.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 04/06/2018 16:01:03 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone

All former Monarch employees will have received information from Jobcentre Plus outlining the support available to them. In total, Jobcentre Plus has pulled together a list of more than 6,300 vacancies across the major UK based airlines, which will help former Monarch employees remain in the airline industry.</p><p> </p><p>There are also special arrangements for employees who are owed redundancy payments following the insolvency of their employer.
