Proceeding contribution from Baroness Clark of Kilwinning (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
Surely the Secretary of State must accept that fragmentation costs more. For example, I understand that Network Rail employs about 600 legal staff to negotiate with the train operating companies, and no doubt each operating company also employs significant numbers of such staff. Surely we should be looking at integration, as it will save us money.
