Financial Services (Regulation of Derivatives) — New Clause 9 — Rail passenger services — 15 Mar 2011 at 19:30

I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.

I am obviously delighted to see that so many Members on both sides of the House take such a passionate and keen interest in Scotland’s railway services. We have had a great deal of support for the measure from the trade unions in Scotland. This is a simple, technical new clause. Most people think that the Scottish Parliament already has the ability to decide what the model of the franchise will be, and I am keen that the situation should be resolved-<[/i> Interruption. ]

Question put, That the clause be read a Second time.

The Committee divided:

Ayes 172, Noes 293.
