Proceeding contribution from Theresa Villiers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Transport Bill [Lords].
Local Transport Bill [Lords]
In one moment. I believe that, overall, the investment stimulus, innovation and entrepreneurial skills and expertise in product development and marketing that the bus companies have introduced have had a positive impact on services. It seems clear that private enterprise has facilitated a more rapid renewal of the bus fleet and a more efficient cost base than would ever have been possible under the old system.
