Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Hoon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 December 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
I am slightly surprised that the hon. Gentleman is so critical of the rail network. More miles are travelled by train today than at any time since the 1940s and more rail journeys are made than at any time since the 1960s. Our support for rail transport has been remarkably successful in improving the number of passengers who use our transport system. I hope that he will give us credit for that in future.
