Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the (a) potential economic impact and (b) potential financial impact of the proposed industrial action by London Underground drivers who are members of the RMT union on businesses in London.

As transport in London is devolved to TfL, the Mayor of London is responsible for managing the impact of strike action on London’s transport network. Nevertheless, the Government continues to encourage all sides to work together to resolve this dispute as quickly as possible.
