Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has taken steps to seek to assist in resolving the industrial dispute between the RMT union and Rail Gourmet at Edinburgh.

This is a local dispute over a breakdown in industrial relations between a private employer in the rail catering business and its catering employees who are members of the RMT. It is not appropriate for the Secretary of State to intervene and is for the parties concerned to resolve.
