Conservative Party chairman Nadhim Zahawi said the Government is putting contingency plans in place to minimise disruption from a series of public sector strikes. Mr Zahawi said the military could be involved in driving ambulances and securing the country’s borders.
“It is the right and responsible thing to do to have contingency plans in place,” he told Sky News’s Sophy Ridge On Sunday programme.“We have a very strong team at Cobra who are doing a lot of the work in looking at what we need to do to minimise the disruption to people’s lives.
“We have been looking at the military, we are looking at a specialist response force which we have actually set up a number of years ago. We have to make sure our borders are always secure and that is something we guarantee.
