Proceeding contribution from Paul Burstow (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on First Capital Connect.


First Capital Connect

I congratulate the hon. Lady on securing the debate. I know that she does a lot of work on behalf of her constituents on the matter. On the franchising process, together with other hon. Members, I have tabled early-day motions to ask questions about termination of the franchise, as many of my constituents feel that the only option is to get a fresh start with a new provider. Ministers have been vague about how much longer they are prepared to tolerate the catastrophic failure of the service before they will terminate it. Is that a question that the Under-Secretary should answer today?
