Clause 1 - General transport duty
Transport (Wales) Bill
10:30 am
Bill Wiggin ((Also Shadow Secretary of State for Wales), Environment, Food & Rural Affairs; Leominster, Conservative)
The Bill says that the Assembly “must” develop policies for transport that is, effectively, outside Wales. That is the issue that the hon. Gentleman must understand. The clause says:
“The Assembly must ... develop policies for the promotion and encouragement of safe, integrated, sustainable, efficient and economic transport facilities and services to, from and within Wales”.
There is obviously no problem with “within Wales”, and the hon. Gentleman’s constituents will be aware of the advantages. However, I have with difficulties with “to” and “from”. I hope that that is helpful to him.
