Lilian Greenwood on politics and select committees
My guest this week has focused on transport for a decade. She was Shadow Rail Minister under Ed Miliband, Shadow Transport Secretary under Jeremy Corbyn and chaired the Transport Select Committee until the last election.
We talk about what it’s like doing these different roles in politics, the key messages she’s heard on the select committee and the importance of long-term funding settlements in transport.
Not many MPs make a specialism of transport at a senior level: Lilian Greenwood is one of them.
