Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Claire Coutinho and Chris Heaton-Harris

Thursday 16th December 2021 Commons Chamber

[Claire Coutinho (East Surrey) (Con)]

T2. I represent a commuter constituency in East Surrey, where reduced train services have been causing workers misery. We are still trying to unravel the situation that arose after previous work-from-home measures. Part of the challenge has been the number of drivers who went out of circulation the last time we told people to work from home; there was the challenge of getting them back in circulation. Will the Minister reassure me that he will work with the train operators this time to make sure that that does not happen again?

[The Minister of State, Department for Transport (Chris Heaton-Harris)]

Of course I can give my hon. Friend that assurance, and I thank her for raising the topic.
