Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 September 2026

Debate

Railways Bill

Contribution

My amendments would ensure that there is a passenger growth target so that we can make sure that passengers as well as freight are considered and we do not have that perverse incentive in what is actually written in the Bill. I hope the Government will consider this carefully, as I believe it has support on all sides of the House, and it certainly did in the Commons.
