Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 March 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rail Reform.
Rail Reform
I worry about the right hon. Lady using the Ronseal method, because painting over the cracks in the industry might come back to haunt her. One of the implications of the statement is that 12,000 jobs are at risk, mainly those of station staff. In addition, it reintroduces the profit motive to the provision of the infrastructure, which caused the Potters Bar, Hatfield, Paddington and Southall rail crashes. Has there been an independent safety assessment of today's proposals?
