Speeches by Turner.

“I understand that, but it is not literally true to say, “Choose our app for all the routes and fares in one place”, is it?”

“Because Trainline’s algorithm states that it prioritises fastest routes, and then the cheapest fares within that range of fastest routes. It will not show all the possible routes and all the possible fares.”

“You say that there are not effectively hidden means of keeping customers returning to the app, but the ORR did require Trainline to change how booking fees were applied at the start of the booking process quite recently. The Advertising Standards Authority said both that it was inaccurate for Trainline to say that you …”

“I understand the point about wanting to avoid distortion from a single dominant operator in this space, but that applies on the private side as well as on the public. It is a question for Mr Davies. The Competition and Markets Authority puts 25% of market share as its indicator of monopoly status. Is Trainline below or…”

“I draw attention to my membership of the GMB and my chairship of its parliamentary group. The BMA is currently in dispute with its workforce over an offer of 2% for this year, which is below the inflation rate on the retail prices index and the consumer prices index. Does my right hon. Friend agree that there is a stri…”

“And now we turn, at last, to a fundamental question which has perhaps gone unasked in this House for too long: what is the mass and acceleration of an average-sized peacock? The question does not spring from the pages of a script for “The Goon Show” or “Monty Python”. It is a real case that came before the rail industr…”

“When the hon. Member for Orpington (Gareth Bacon) was the shadow Transport Secretary, he was recorded saying that his party would likely not reverse nationalisation because the public would be unlikely to think it was a good idea. If this Bill passes, will it be the policy of the hon. Member for Broadland and Fakenham …”

“I wish to associate myself with the sentiments expressed by my hon. Friend the Member for Birmingham Erdington (Paulette Hamilton). Something has clearly gone very wrong with the safety advisory group process in respect of Aston Villa, as the Minister, to her credit, has said from the start. I am particularly concerned…”

“The hon. Lady just said that she has been informed by business groups that were in the negotiations that this measure was not agreed. Will she name them?”

“The OBR is a valuable institution, and the “Economic and fiscal outlook” is by far the most important document that it produces. Today’s report makes it clear that the OBR’s IT infrastructure was a point of critical failure that should have been identified as far back as 2013. Does the Minister agree that the chair of …”

“As a local MP, I have previously expressed my concerns about the decision-making process. I welcome the Minister’s commitment today that a review is being carried out about how such risk assessments are made. I understand why some information may not be suitable for placing in the public domain, but can the Minister as…”

“Elsie, did you want to come in first?”

“Following up on Elsie’s point about safety, this question is not so much about your individual actions as operators as it is about the suitability of the current system. The 2018 task and finish group did recommend that the 2015 cross-border hiring changes be reversed on the basis partly of public safety. TfL at the ti…”

“Do you observe that behaviour from other players in the industry?”

“No, I am talking about poor practice.”

“One of the issues we are particularly interested in for this inquiry is disability access. We have heard evidence from Transport for All that disabled passengers often face discrimination and refusals or cancellations of bookings. Similarly, Guide Dogs report that 63% of guide handlers were refused service in the past …”

“Emma, if you have examples of local authorities that you think are doing this very well and those that you think are not doing it so well, we would be interested to have that in writing. Thank you.”

“I have a follow-up question to Emma. We have heard from the previous panel and elsewhere that not only is there the problem of around one third of authorities not requiring training, but there is a variation in the quality of the training that is provided. Can you tell us more about what that variation looks like and w…”

“I had a question about NR3S. I am conscious of time and several of you have already spoken about the database so please do not feel the need to repeat anything you have said to us previously. Is there anything else that you wish to tell us about NR3S or how it can be improved? Specifically, we would be interested in yo…”

“Arooj, you mentioned the Casey audit a while ago. As you know, it said that the Government should legislate to address the important issues, including in relation to passenger safety. What should this legislation include?”
