Parliamentary Debate, 25th April
Private Member's debate, Westminster Hall. We encouraged all our MPs to go / speak on the "Greater Western Franchise". Alastair Darling / Derek Twigg should have been there (I have no confirmation which of them was ...). Michael Ancram wrote to me:
Thank you for your message about the debate on trains in the south west held in Westminster Hall this morning. It was well attended by MPs from across the region. I intervened in the debate to raise the specific points about Melksham and the reduction in services and also the more general points about the effects of these reductions on road usage, the environment, business and the mobility of the elderly. By definition these debates are short and more about putting things on the record rather than getting answers.
I will continue therefore to press Melksham’s case.
