Draft Rail Reform Bill announced as part of King’s Speech
Responding to announcement of a draft Rail Reform Bill as part of today’s King’s Speech, Norman Baker, from the charity Campaign for Better Transport, said:
“We welcome the renewed commitment to Great British Railways as a guiding mind and arms-length body but it is not clear why this is a draft Rail Reform Bill, rather than a commitment to legislate, given this has already been subject to extensive discussion and is largely non-controversial across all the political parties.”
