Geoffrey Clifton-Brown calls for the retendering of the First Great Western franchise to allow sufficient capital investment to improve the car parking at Kemble.
Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (The Cotswolds) (Con): When the First Great Western franchise is retendered, would the Minister consider allowing a provision to allow sufficient capital investment to improve the car parking at Kemble, which is already at capacity?
Norman Baker: We are reviewing the full franchise process, led by my right hon. Friend the Minister of State. As part of the franchise consideration, we are looking at longer franchises that may include that sort of issue in due course.
