In the first public evidence session for the Transport Select Committee, MPs will question Transport Secretary Chris Grayling to “unpick the thinking behind recent policy changes.” Chair Lilian Greenwood wants to “get into the nuts and bolts” of why it has made the changes.
“The Secretary of State should expect to be asked how the public is served by current transport policy, whether the passenger is a disabled person seeking wheelchair spaces on buses, a regular user of the railways, or seeking updates on investment in transport in their region.
“The Transport Committee intends to scrutinise Department for Transport decisions which impact lives across the UK, every day.”
