  Orders of the Day - Local Transport Bill [ Lords]
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p pid="a.204.0/1">I beg to move,</p>
  
  <blockquote>That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Local Transport Bill [<i> Lords</i>] because it encourages the introduction of Quality Contract schemes to reregulate bus networks, thus preventing free competition between bus operators, undermining service quality for passengers and jeopardising the partnerships between operators and local authorities that have helped to improve service quality; because it fails to give due weight to the importance of consultation and local consent when local congestion charging schemes are considered; and because it transfers revenue-raising powers to the National Assembly for Wales without proper constitutional justification and in doing so allows Wales to be used as a test bed for the Government's untried, untested national road pricing scheme.</blockquote>
