<title>Passenger Membership For Network Rail</title>
<proposer id="10600">Don Touhig</proposer>
<date>2008-01-07</date>
<text>That this House calls on Network Rail to recognise the importance of providing genuine public accountability for its services; notes that in a recent YouGov poll commissioned by the Co-operative Party, 81 per cent. of the public felt they had too little say in how public transport was run; urges the company to reform its constitution to allow the travelling public to become members of Network Rail; further urges the company to allow them to play a full role in its governance structure, including holding management to account; and calls upon the Government to withhold further subsidy from Network Rail until steps are taken to achieve this.</text>
