Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lord McLoughlin and George Hollingbery

Thursday 25th April 2013 Commons Chamber

[George Hollingbery (Meon Valley) (Con)]

T3. Will the Secretary of State update the House on any discussions he may have had with the Mayor of London with regard to suburban railway services in the south-east?

[Mr McLoughlin]

I met the Mayor of London yesterday and had a wide-ranging discussion on many subjects relating to London and other areas. What I have always said is that in principle I have nothing against wider franchising, but I need to see that there is proper accountability. Discussions are ongoing.
