Proceeding contribution from Theresa Villiers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Transport Bill [Lords].
Local Transport Bill [Lords]
The hon. Gentleman clearly sees regulation as the solution to those problems, but we had the problem of buses competing with trams in Croydon, in the capital city. Transport for London ended up in court because it was deliberately scheduling buses in a way that was very competitive with the Croydon Tramlink. On that point, and I think on a number of others, simply regulating will not deliver the solution to the problems that concern him.
