Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) BillContribution
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.
