Proceeding contribution from Lord Berkeley (Labour) 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, I thank my noble friend for responding to our points made in Committee. I still think that there is merit in having a joint users’ council for the rail and bus industries. He did not explain how it could be funded and how it could work—which is just as well, because Clause 77 is not the easiest clause to understand. At least there is a website which combines rail and bus travel information, and that is now very helpful for passengers, following some initial problems. I look forward to following this matter closely, as it develops.
