Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 June 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Interoperable Rail System) Regulations 2008.


Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Interoperable Rail System) Regulations 2008

I am happy to give my personal assurance that we will do all that we can to ensure that the reporting process is properly workable. I will write to participants in this debate on how we might achieve that. What I like about this as a parliamentarian is that there is a degree of rigour to it, but there is also a degree of flexibility. I am sure that we are all trying to ensure that standards are raised appropriately so that we can make our public transport system the most accessible in the world. That is what we all want to achieve.
