Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Stephen Hepburn (Labour), on Monday, 20 October 2014, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 19 members in total.


QUALITY CONTRACT FOR BUS SERVICES IN TYNE AND WEAR

That this House welcomes the plan for a quality contract for bus services in Tyne and Wear which will allow fares to be capped, services to be protected and London-style smart and simple Oyster-style ticketing to be introduced; congratulates the Tyne and Wear Combined Authority for being the first city region to seek to introduce London-style bus regulation and encourages other city regions to follow Tyne and Wear's lead; and condemns multi-millionaire Brian Souter's campaign of threats and misinformation in order to protect Stagecoach's monopoly profits at the expense of low income bus users.
