Business question from Alistair Burt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 April 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Last month, 23 new trains were expected on the Thameslink line. In the event, only one appeared—and it had to be sent back. As the Department for Transport was responsible for the contract, may we have an urgent statement from that Department about why the train manufacturer Bombardier's long-standing problems, which have a national impact, have been allowed to go on for so long?
