Proceeding contribution from Angela C Smith (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

The Minister ruled out the possibility of a comparator on the grounds that it is anti-competitive. It has been suggested that we allow an arm's length company to compete with private train operators. Surely that would be a sensible and undogmatic way forward.
