Proceeding contribution from Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 16 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Transport Bill [HL].


Local Transport Bill [HL]

My Lords, we must not assume that making a report to the Integrated Transport Authorities is simply a way of chastising bus users. If the problems are about congestion, the matter is referred to that authority so that it can take some action. It is an area where some authorities, as the noble Lord, Lord Snape, has said, have been very dilatory in the past, while they concentrated on such issues as he described, rather than putting their own house in order.
