answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2016 answer text <p>This, like any other industrial dispute between a Train Operating Company and a trades union, is a matter for the union and operator to resolve. The Government condemns any industrial action that disrupts the travelling public. RMT has advised its members to accept the new On-Board Supervisor roles on offer. The Government’s strong opinion is there are no grounds at all for any further industrial action and these strikes must stop now.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 02/11/2016 15:23:14 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
