Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 March 2008. It occurred during Estimates day on London Underground.


London Underground

The hon. Lady is suggesting that the Government had weak negotiators on their side. If they had had tough negotiators, as they should have, would the privateers not have walked away because they would not have been able to make any money and the risk would have transferred to them? Did they stay in only because they knew that they could make cash and eventually walk away?
