Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 5 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Authorities (Overview and Scrutiny) Bill.


Local Authorities (Overview and Scrutiny) Bill

Would my hon. Friend's Bill extend to railway contractors? I have in mind the appalling record of First Capital Connect on the Thameslink line, which has affected so many of my constituents since the dispute, and its failure to restore proper services. Would my local authority be able to call the company to account through the scrutiny process?
