Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Transport Bill [Lords].

Local Transport Bill [Lords]

I congratulate my hon. Friend on his new post. I welcome the amendments and new clauses that the Government have tabled. They are very much in the spirit of local responsibility and local accountability, and that is what Labour Members believe in. Does he have any idea of how long the board's deliberations might take? Will he assure us that, as part of those deliberations, there will be no requirement to go back to any of the operators to seek their views on the board's comments, and that if there is a discussion between the board and the transport authority, there will be no obligation to involve the operators in it?
