RMT Strikes: Impact on Businesses

Contribution

My Lords, last week I was not singing the praises of the RMT when I was walking with two prosthetic legs between here and Victoria, and I probably speak for many disabled people who rely on the Tube to get to work. But I speak in this place for the smaller businesses out in Rochester where I live—the taxis even out there recorded less work because people were not at work and were either working from home or, probably more likely in many cases, having a day off unpaid. Will the Minister from the Dispatch Box similarly condemn the actions of the RMT?
