Lord Grade of Yarmouth (Non-Afl)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 February 2026

Debate

Public Transport: Remote Communities

Contribution

My Lords, is the Minister aware that one of the great transport scandals in this country is that it costs something like £20 per mile to take the smallest car from Portsmouth to Fishbourne on the Isle of Wight? There is a monopoly there that operates completely against the economic interests of those trying to make a living on the Isle of Wight and, as we call it, the north island.
