Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THE GREATER pert of the Transport Bill Is essentially concerned with improving the quality of our transport system and making it more responsible to the needs of users, Lord Ballwin told the House of Lords last week.

He said it would open the door to higher quality passenger transport services, an objective' which is entirely worthwhile, and he believed that the Bill represents a sensible and balanced way of achieving this. But Lord Underhill, the Opimsition spokesman, was not so enamoured of the measure. He said there was no mandate whatever for the disposal of the whole or part of any subsidiary of the National Bus Company.

He recalled that the Conservatives' election manifesto had said: "We want to see those industries that remain nationalised running more successfully, and we will therefore interfere less with their management". What was put into the 1980 and 1981 Acts and was now being put into this Bill did not shape up with that definite statement.
