Proceeding contribution from Duncan Hames (Liberal Democrat) 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

I welcome the greater autonomy for Network Rail route managers in the Wessex area, because rail passengers in my constituency are endlessly frustrated by the pass-the-parcel attitude to responsibility for performance on the railways. In the light of First Great Western's recent announcement, will the timing for the letting of the Great Western franchise enable the Government fully to embrace the McNulty report proposals in setting out the future of rail travel for my constituents?
