Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hoey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 March 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rail Reform.
Rail Reform
Is not one of the reasons why train fares in Europe are much lower than here that many countries still have public ownership of their railways? Does the Secretary of State accept that the statement is just a green light for the mostly foreign-owned train operators in this country to have a feeding frenzy on raising fares so that they can keep the fares down in their own countries?
