Commons ChamberMy hon. Friend rightly highlights some of the terrible consequences of these strikes for individuals. In respect of the RMT dispute, we have already put forward an offer that is in excess of the average wage settlement in the private sector, and I would strongly urge all members taking part in those strikes to think again about the impact that is having on hardworking people up and down this country.

Can the Minister provide assurances that Marion and individuals like her will not be ignored when the Government finally respond to that inquiry?
