Proceeding contribution from Lord Whitty (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 9 March 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Public Bodies Bill [HL].

I hope that we will not lose that geographical dimension in changing its composition. I accept what the noble Earl says in relation to Passenger Focus.

Amendment 98 agreed. Amendment 99 not moved. Amendment 99A Moved by
