To ask His Majesty's Government, in relation to contracts to supply railway rolling
stock as part of the Intercity Express Programme, whether Hitachi is required to provide
sufficient serviceable trains to meet the timetable commitments of train operators;
and if so, whether Hitachi is required to pay compensation to train operators when
it fails to do so, whether this applies for every affected journey, and whether this
includes liquidated damages to compensate for loss to the train operator's business, including
loss incurred by refunding passengers for poor service.
