Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor John McDonnell (Labour), on Wednesday, 26 November 2014, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 18 members in total.


DOCKLANDS LIGHT RAILWAY MAINTENANCE WORK

That this House notes that on the mainline railway and London Underground maintenance contracts have been brought in-house to improve efficiency, safety and quality of service; is therefore concerned that the new operators of the Docklands Light Railway, Keolis/Amey, are sub-contracting the maintenance and electrical team to MJ Quinn, which could result in not only a poorer service and less safe Docklands Light Railway, but also worse staff conditions, job insecurity and a loss of skills; and calls on the Mayor of London and Keolis/Amey to ensure that all Docklands Light Railway maintenance work is instead carried out in-house.
