Transport Select Commitee to question Derek Twigg - 19th July
« on: July 18, 2006, 07:20:58 AM »

The Transport Select Commitee questions Derek Twigg.

I note that there are no members of the commitee in the FGW area; I hope they have been briefed by our own members to ask appropriate questions, and I have dropped the member nearest to our part of the world a quick note to alert him to what appears to be a poor decision by Derek Twigg's section.
