VIRGIN CROSS COUNTRY

Early day motion 1574, tabled 6 February 2006 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 29 members.

That this House is deeply concerned at the ongoing dispute between Virgin Cross Country and the Rail Maritime and Transport Union (RMT); is further concerned at reports that Virgin may be compromising the safety of passengers by the use of untrained and medically restricted personnel on strike days; regrets that Virgin has refused to return to the negotiating table; and therefore calls on Richard Branson to urge his company immediately to re-open negotiations with the RMT.

Signatures by party: Labour 27, Liberal Democrat 2.
