Responding to the news that Ruth Cadbury has been elected Chair of the Transport Committee, Ben Curtis of Campaign for Better Transport said:

“We are delighted to welcome Ruth Cadbury MP to her post as Chair of the Transport Select Committee. Ruth brings a wealth of experience from her shadow ministerial roles and her previous work on the committee, which will be invaluable during this crucial period when significant decisions about the future of our transport network must be made.

“If we are to make the right decisions on the future of public transport, around the establishment of Great British Railways, reform of the bus network and the integration of our transport network, amongst other things, we need rigorous parliamentary scrutiny. We look forward to working with the committee to assist them in our shared objective of making public transport more affordable, more efficient and more extensive.”
