Local Transport Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Graham Stringer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bills on Local Transport Bill [Lords].
I am grateful to my hon. Friend for being generous in giving way on a difficult point. My concern is this: if a party in control of an ITA can bring people on to it and give them voting rights on everything from capital and revenue expenditure to the network route, will it be able to say that those people have voting rights for four years, potentially undermining any elections in its constituent authorities? That is not clear from the new clauses.
