@callum_mccaig @AiberdeinQuine I'm not saying it's not true, but what law? Why is it OK for calmac and Scot Water to be owned by @scotgov?

-
@mcnalu@AiberdeinQuine it is due to the way the legislation was worded when privatised. CalMac and Scottish Water always publicly owned -
@callum_mccaig@AiberdeinQuine Thanks, so in a WM bill? If so, can you tell which one? I've tried searching but can't find anything specific -
@callum_mccaig@AiberdeinQuine found it, railways act 1993 sec 25. Also Scotland Bill will allow Scotrail to be nationalised. - End of conversation

@callum_mccaig law changed with new powers. Could SNP look forward to publicly owned rail service 2020? -
@JeanHenretty changing, not changed, as still in the House of Lords. Franchise runs to 2025, after that possible.

@callum_mccaig@OwenThompson Ironic too that Labour brought forward 2 Railway Acts in their 13 yrs in power and kept the public sector out! - 1 more reply
