Proceeding contribution from Ian Lavery (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on McNulty Report and West Coast Rail.
McNulty Report and West Coast Rail
The McNulty report did not seriously consider the possibility of the reintegration of the rail system into public ownership. I mention that because many systems abroad are largely in public ownership. One of the reasons why our system is at least 30% more expensive is the billions of pounds siphoned off in profits and dividends. Will the Secretary of State explain why they did not look at that option and why it is not on the table at the moment?
