Proceeding contribution from Stephen Ladyman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 January 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Network Rail.


Network Rail

There is a word that the hon. Lady is studiously avoiding using: Railtrack. I agree that what Network Rail did over the new year was unacceptable and that lessons need to be learnt. However, is she seriously suggesting that that railway disruption compares in any way with the financial and personal tragedies that Railtrack, which was set up by a Conservative Government, visited on the railways?
