Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 October 2024

Debate

Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill

Contribution

Amendment 1 also deals with contractual break clauses. I have explained the Government’s approach: where unacceptable performance triggers early termination rights, we will not hesitate to act decisively. Otherwise, we will bring services into public ownership as contracts expire, because this is the way to deliver public ownership as quickly as possible, while avoiding unnecessary cost to the taxpayer.
