Proceeding contribution from Louise Ellman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Rail Fares and Franchises.
Rail Fares and Franchises
I thank the Minister for his intervention, but the logic of his comment means that 40 per cent. of passengers are travelling on unregulated fares. An increase of 15 per cent. can cause great hardship. Indeed, there are other examples, including the London to Liverpool anytime single fare and the London to Manchester anytime return ticket, the costs of which have increased by 6 per cent. These figures should not be taken lightly.
