Transport (Wales) Bill

I am very sorry; I am speaking to Amendment No. 15. However, the debate concerns connections between bus services, which Amendment No. 15 deals with. When the Assembly considers whether the transport services are integrated—to use the Minister’s word—or make effective connections with one another—to use my phrase—we need to address how competition law, the Enterprise Act and the Transport Act 1985 reflect on the bus industry. We cannot, as I understand the law, deal with connection policies between transport services without addressing the issues raised by those three pieces of legislation. It may be partly the fault of the grouping; if so, that is my fault for not realising it. In fact, I am on one side and the other of an argument. I am asking that, in planning bus and train services, the Assembly should take account of the connections between them. How it will do so, I will leave to the next amendment. I beg to move.
