On Tuesday 3 September 2024, the House of Commons considered the Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill in a Committee of the Whole House. The Bill would remove the presumption in favour of franchised passenger railway services being provided by the private sector, and instead allows train operations to be provided by a public sector company when existing franchise contracts end.
there were 3 amendments and I voted against the amendments:
Amendment 14: Ayes: 111 Noes: 362 ; Amendment 17: Ayes: 113 Noes: 372 ; Amendment 21: Ayes: 82 Noes: 360
The Bill passed its third reading without a vote and consideration of the Bill will now continue in the House of Lords.
