Transport (Wales) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Albert Owen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Transport (Wales) Bill.
Does the hon. Gentleman agree that it is important to add the time that businesses save to the per-mile formula? For instance, a businessman from north-west Wales who travels to Cardiff not only spends four and a half hours travelling in one direction, but possibly stays in a hotel, which might make the whole trip last for a day and a half. That is a lot of time and effort for a small businessman to spend away from his business, which is a factor that should be brought into the equation.
