Although deregulation is well under way in the transport sector, regular coach services are still largely regulated. Governments see them as potentially competing with rail transport services. However, in countries that have had some experience with deregulation the outcome has clearly been positive (except for local short-distance services). The Round Table began with a review of regular interurban coach services based on case studies in countries which had adopted an original approach. This report shows the industry in a totally new light. One of its main findings is that there is a specific market for customers that have no other means of transport. Opening up this market would benefit the most economically disadvantaged sectors of the population. But that is not the only lesson to be learned from this Round Table.

This publication sets out the Government's response to the Committee's report (HC 574, session 2005-06 (ISBN 0215027590) on the eighth annual report by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office ('Human Rights Annual Report 2005', Cm. 6606, ISBN 0101660626). Issues discussed in the report include: the international legal framework and the work of international institutions; the war against terrorism and treatment of detainees in Guantanamo Bay, extraordinary rendition and the use of information derived from torture, the situation in Iraq and the trial of Saddam Hussein; the arms trade and military assistance, and corporate social responsibility. Amongst the Government's responses, it disagrees with the concerns the Committee raised over i) the fact that the Minister responsible for human rights issues is also the Minister of State for Trade, roles that the Committee found to be often contradictory; and ii) the decision to subsume human rights work into the more general category of sustainable development.
On 30 September 2005, the Competition Commission was asked to investigate the proposed acquisition of the new Greater Western franchise (the GWF) by FirstGroup plc (FirstGroup). FirstGroup is a UK-based transport company with bus, tram and rail operations across the UK and North America and currently operates four passenger rail franchises in the UK (First Great Western, First Great Western Link, First Trans Pennine Express and First ScotRail, along with a non-franchise "open access" rail service (Hull Trains), and will also operate the Thameslink/Great Northern franchise from 1 April 2006. The new franchise will run for seven years from 1 April 2006, and was awarded to FirstGroup by the Department of Transport on 22 December 2005. The Commission has decided that substantial lessening of competition (SLC) will not result from the merger, either for the alternative public transport services available for their "point-to-point journeys" or to the wider network markets.
