Introduction

Mr John Stevenson asks questions to play in the House of Commons. Mr Speaker, I am sure the whole house will share my sorrow at the capsizing of a small boat in the channel this morning. Our hearts go out to all those affected and our tributes to those involved in the extensive rescue operation. Kia Stalmer: Will the government cancel their franchise if they do not get their act together? The Prime Minister responds by saying that his priority immediately is to support the restoration of services before making any long-term decisions on the West Coast franchise.
