Transport (Wales) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Transport (Wales) Bill.
At the time I did not think so, but looking back I would give anything to return to the flawed but much more coherent days of British Rail compared with what we have now. By implication, I assumed that the hon. Member for Monmouth (David T.C. Davies) and his colleagues all continue to believe that privatisation of the rail services was a good idea. It is just as well, then, that their party did not get re-elected, because if, even today, they have not learned the lessons of privatisation of the rail service, that suggests that British transport will not be safe in the hands of a Conservative Government.
