Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 November 2024

Debate

Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill

Contribution

My Lords, it is always a pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Moylan, and I congratulate him on another polished speech. It ought to be well polished—he has made it at least four times during the passage of this particular legislation. He has not said anything new; we have cantered around the same course about Avanti trains and the future of the railway system. This is a small Bill designed to create an overall body to be responsible for running the railway system. It was an idea conceived by the party opposite.
