Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 March 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rail Reform.


Rail Reform

Exactly. Does the Secretary of State agree that politicians are useless in any industry at picking winners, and will she reassure us that this Conservative Government remain committed to a privatised industry in which competition and a market-driven approach have driven record growth in numbers, and that there will be no return to the bad old days of British Rail with stultifying ministerial control?
