First Capital Connect (No. 2)
EDM number 773 in 2009-10, proposed by Kelvin Hopkins on 02/02/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Railways.
That this House notes the continued poor service on First Capital Connect; believes that this breaches the company's franchise agreement; is appalled that passengers have suffered this disruption whilst First Group's Chief Executive was paid over £1 million in 2009 and the company's profits have exceeded £800 million since rail privatisation; welcomes the fact that the Minister of State, Department for Transport has confirmed that all options are on the table when considering the future of the franchise; and urges the Government to take the franchise in-house and to run it as a publicly-owned and accountable public service for the benefit of passengers, taxpayers and railway employees.
This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
