Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 September 2026
Debate
Railways BillContribution
What my noble friend is pointing out—which will be relevant, for example, to our debate on ticketing later, hopefully later today—is that, unless you see the draft of the approved document, you do not know to what extent it properly reflects what is in the ticketing settlement agreement now and is carried forward, or to what extent it proposes to change these things. Simply the fact of having a promise in the legislation that there will be a document is not necessarily sufficient for us to feel confident that the changes that we are implementing in legislation will come through in the way that we intend them to. I support my noble friend in trying to start this off in our amendments, to explore whether the legislation is working as we are told it should.
