“In the absence of that, it’s important for the government. It’s the right and responsible thing to do, to have contingency plans in place."The government said that military personnel, civil servants and volunteers are being trained up to help support a number of sectors, such as Border Force at airports and ports, amid fears of Christmas chaos. The final decision on whether troops will be deployed to aid during Christmas strikes has not yet been taken.
But, Number 10 said that personnel “are part of the range of options available should strike action in these areas go ahead as planned". A number of strikes are set to take place in the run up to Christmas which will impact transport, the NHS and delivery drivers.
