Why Hillscourt Suits Public Sector Conferencing
Railway Bill introduced to parliament
The Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill has been introduced to Parliament.
The Bill would allow the government to bring rail passenger services back into public ownership, by amending legislation to make appointing a public sector operator the default, rather than a last resort.
Transport Secretary, Louise Haigh, said: "This is a clear signal of intent. Rail reform is at the heart of this King’s Speech.
"As Passenger-in-Chief, I said we’d move fast and fix things and that’s exactly what we’re doing with this weighty, radical legislative agenda.
"Our transport system is broken, but today’s bill will pave the way for better trains that work for everyone, no matter where you live.
"After years of inefficiency, we’re 2 weeks in and the first steps towards rail reform are being taken today. Change starts now."
