Docklands Light Railway Maintenance Work

EDM number 557 in 2014-15, proposed by John McDonnell on 26/11/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Industrial relations and Railways.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
