Proceeding contribution from Baroness Clark of Kilwinning (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 October 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Railway Industry.


Railway Industry

The Minister will recall that, in my initial contribution, I quoted the Government's consultation document, which said that European procurement law referred to 15 years and that that was why a starting point of 12 to 15 years should be the standard length of franchises. Does she not accept that that rings alarm bells? Will she explain why there is a link between European procurement law and her starting point?
