Labour — Birmingham Northfield

Speaking in the House of Commons on 29 July 2024

Debate

Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill

Contribution

I thank the shadow Minister for giving way and I compliment him on his staying power during a very long debate. He talks about fares and affordability. Can he explain why, under the Government who have just exited office, fares increased on average by 4.7% each year, almost one and a half times higher than the rate under the previous Labour Government?
