Proceeding contribution from Grahame Morris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 29 July 2024. It occurred during Debate on bill on Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill.
Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill
The hon. Gentleman is presenting an interesting proposal. He has talked of “evidence”. If we look back over the past few years, we see that 70% of train operating companies running train franchises in this country were Government-owned—owned not by the UK Government, but by the Governments of Germany, the Netherlands and Italy. Was this not dogma to prevent an evidence-based build-up around the east coast main line franchise, providing profit and an income stream?
