answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2019 answer text <p>Driver Controlled Operation (DCO) was rolled out on Southern from January 2017. Operationally this means that drivers open and close the doors of the train – a modern and safe way of working. What this means for passengers is that they now have dedicated customer service staff (an on-board supervisor, or OBS) on every train that previously had a conductor. Should an OBS - at short notice - not be able to meet the train, then the train is no longer cancelled, as it would have been with a conductor.</p><p> </p><p>In 2016, no Southern services ran without a scheduled second member of staff on board. However, 8,119 trains were cancelled in 2016 because there was no conductor. This is because trains which are scheduled to run with a conductor cannot be run without a second qualified person on board.</p><p> </p><p>In 2017, 1.6% of Southern services scheduled to run with an OBS ran without an OBS for their whole journey, and 2.2% ran without an OBS for part of their journey.</p><p> </p><p>In 2018, 0.4% of Southern services scheduled to run with an OBS ran without an OBS for their whole journey, and 1.0% ran without an OBS for part of their journey.</p><p> </p><p>In the figures for January and February 2019, 0.1% of Southern services scheduled to run with an OBS ran without an OBS for their whole journey, and 0.5% ran without an OBS for part of their journey.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 13/03/2019 14:45:10 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

The centres are the responsibility of the Libyan authorities. No UK funding or European Union Emergency Trust Fund (EUTF) funding is allocated to the Libyan Department for Combatting Illegal Migration (DCIM), nor detention centres in Libya. The EUTF is working to improve conditions for migrants in DCIM-run centres on a humanitarian basis. Initiatives include providing safe spaces for the most vulnerable, installing air ventilation, water, sanitation and hygiene items, toilet facilities, and providing mobile medical assistance. In parallel, the EU is seeking sustainable and humane alternatives for those in these centres, including by supporting voluntary returns or resettlement in safe third countries.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 11/03/2019 16:44:46 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
