There seems to be a fundamental unfairness about the idea of the Welsh Assembly having influence over transport services that are largely not even in Wales. If that unfairness were to be corrected, it would surely be right to allow English local authorities—if it is they that draw up the equivalent of the local transport plan—to have the same influence over transport facilities that are largely in Wales. The whole thing would become confusing, with bodies from outside a region having a large say over transport facilities largely within that region. The amendment is important for clarity.
