A motion at the Labour party conference, which begins on Sunday, is expected to call on the party to take advantage of break clauses in agreements between the government and private operators. Last week, the Labour leader announced that his party would take back routes as contracts expired rather than opening the contracts to new bids.
The motion will cause further anxiety among some shadow cabinet members who believe the party is already too hostile towards big business under Corbyn and his shadow chancellor, John McDonnell.
Manuel Cortes, the general secretary of the Transport Salaried Staffs Association, which is behind the conference motion, said Labour should consider speeding up re-nationalization through invoking break clauses. "The franchises should be brought back into public ownership as they expire, but to accelerate this, Labour should think about using break clauses within the franchises if this is in the interests of passengers."
Every franchise would have a break clause through which the contract could be ended earlier than planned, Cortes said. "If Labour takes over (in 2020), only five franchises are up for (full) renewal over that parliament," he said. "The last time a private company (Railtrack) ran the tracks, we ended up with two major accidents at Hatfield and Potters Bar."
It is understood that TSSA could use provisions for emergency motions to update their wording to welcome Corbyn’s announcement on public ownership. Train drivers’ union Aslef is expected to
second the call
. Its leader, Mick Whelan, said: "We will support any opportunity for the railways to be bought back into public ownership."
In the run-up to the election, former leader Ed Miliband stopped short of endorsing full re-nationalization , saying that publicly owned enterprises could bid to take back contracts when franchises expired.
In a sign he wants a clearer policy than his predecessor, Corbyn told the Independent on Sunday: "We know there is overwhelming support from the British people for a people’s railway, better and more efficient services, proper integration and fairer fares. On this issue, it won’t work to have a nearly-but-not-quite position. Labour will commit to a clear plan for a fully integrated railway in public ownership."
A spokesman for the Rail Delivery Group, which represents Network Rail and train operators, questioned the logic of enforced re-nationalization by breaking with existing contracts. "When rail franchising was introduced, the railway ran at a £ 2bn-a-year loss in terms of its day-to-day costs but today, it virtually covers its running expenses." "There is more to do to improve rail services but why get rid of a model that is working for passengers and taxpayers?"
Manuel Cortes believes that Labour party should ______.
选项
A、use break clauses to end the franchises as they expire
B、take over five franchises to renewal the parliament
C、. bring franchises into public ownership as they expire
D、take the interests of passengers into consideration
答案
D
解析
答案来自于第三段第二句,这个题目中最大的干扰来自A项和C项。文中提到“应该在失效之前就废除Franchises”,而A项选项却说“当失效的时候才废除",所以错误。C项选项的错误也是一样,就是在说“当失效的时候",而且同学们应该识别出:use break clauses to end the franchises=bring franchises into public ownership。B项选项就是我胡乱拼凑的一个选项了,没有什么干扰性。D项选项的正确就在于将第二句的最后部分if this is in the interests of passengers“如果符合旅客的利益(就应该提前终止)”同义替换为“应该考虑旅客的利益”。如果没有识别出来,大家做排除也应该选择这个答案哦!
