Lord Snape (Lab)
Well, life is not fair. These are the realities of running bus services. I just remind the noble Baroness who accuses me of not being fair that I used to chair a major bus operator. It was employee-owned for much of the time and faced the same financial constraints and problems under the coalition Government—of which, if I remember rightly, the Liberal Democrats were a part.
Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (GP)
Stop being snide. I am sorry—I should not intervene, as I came late.
