I next turn to Amendment 30 in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Moylan. Before I do, I should compliment the noble Lord on his chairmanship of the Built Environment Committee. I am glad that he has a copy of the Buchanan report. I will seek to find him the text of speeches made by some illustrious predecessors of his and mine, Ashfield and Pick, about the necessity of the proper organisation of public transport in London—and, by inference, in other major cities—in order to encourage him to believe that franchising is an appropriate methodology for other towns and cities as well as London.
