My noble friend has hit the nail on the head. It is likely that any noble Lord will get there and get back on time, unless there is a strike.
Lord Wallace of Saltaire (LD)
My Lords, could the Minister persuade the Prime Minister to use the railways himself a little bit more often? We know that he flies around the country rather a lot. I think if he were to do so, particularly in visiting his constituency, then services to Northallerton and Thirsk would improve very considerably.
