Business of the House

I know of the concerns of the hon. Gentleman and the right hon. Member for Maidstone—[Hon. Members: ““Maidenhead.””] Sorry, I mean the right hon. Member for Maidenhead (Mrs. May). I am doing well today. The right hon. Lady has an Adjournment debate, notwithstanding the fact that she is shadow Leader of the House, next Thursday on train services in Maidenhead and Twyford. Perhaps she will give some time to her hon. Friend from elsewhere in Berkshire. The hon. Member for Newbury (Mr. Benyon) needs to look at the huge investment that has taken place in the rail services and the fact that there has been an extraordinary 40 per cent. increase in the number of passengers and at long last we have managed to turn round the utterly incompetent privatisation of the rail services and ensure that there is now a benign path both of improvement and investment.
