Proceeding contribution from Lord Berkeley (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 6 December 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Local Transport Bill [HL] Bill.


Local Transport Bill [HL] Bill

Before my noble friend sits down, I will try once more. If the situation is, as the noble Baroness and my noble friend have said, that the operators feel they cannot even sit in the same room together, or with a local authority, for fear of being hauled in by the Office of Fair Trading, that situation is not helpful. I do not know what is in this 150-page document because I have not read it yet, but surely it is right that the Government should give the operators some guidance or comfort so that they will sit down together, otherwise we will not make any progress.
