HC Deb 20 June 1994 vol 245 c45W
21. Sir Trevor Skeet

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what results he expects from the introduction of competition in terms of improving rail services.

Mr. Freeman

Evidence from previous transport privatisations shows that the introduction of competition encourages the development of better quality services. I am confident that customers—passengers and freight consignors—will benefit from more services of higher quality, improved efficiency and better value for money.
