Baroness Vere of Norbiton (Con)
My noble friend has hit the nail on the head. It is likely that any noble Lord will get there and get back on time, unless there is a strike.
Lord Wallace of Saltaire (LD)
My Lords, could the Minister persuade the Prime Minister to use the railways himself a little bit more often? We know that he flies around the country rather a lot. I think if he were to do so, particularly in visiting his constituency, then services to Northallerton and Thirsk would improve very considerably.
