Clause 19
Local Transport Bill [ Lords ]
4:00 pm
Stephen Hammond (Shadow Minister, Transport; Wimbledon, Conservative)
I do not know what proportionate means. If it means what the hon. Gentleman suggests, then yes, but someone must tell me what it means. We phrased the amendment as we did so that we could ask the Minister exactly why her initial criteria are phrased in such a way.
To return to my starting point, the five criteria set out in my amendments explore and define the quality contracts criteria. On that basis, I look forward to the Minister’s response.
