The House of Commons Transport Committee looks set to probe the weather chaos this winter, in an apparent response to GWPF's call for such a probe.
Louise Ellman, as chairman of the Transport Select committee, has received official requests to launch a wide-ranging inquiry into why snowfalls up to the Christmas/New Year break crippled the rail and road system.
If given the go-ahead it will focus on the coalition government’s alleged failure to respond to Met Office warnings of severe weather.
That led to weeks of turmoil with trains cancelled, motorways shut and thousands of travellers stranded in appalling weather.
The story is slightly odd, as it seems as if no decision has yet been taken on whether to hold an inquiry, but one assumes that the source, the Liverpool Echo, has some sort of word that it is likely to happen.
