We're giving families room to breathe from the cost-of-living squeeze.

With free bus travel for five to 15-year-olds and discounts on kids' meals at restaurants, cinema tickets and theme parks, we're helping people make the most of the time they have together for the school holidays.

Not only are we lowering costs for the summer, the £2 bus fare cap will help all passengers get to where they need to for less.

Today we’re giving local leaders more power to shape transport in their community.

Everyone deserves to enjoy their summer holiday without delays – which is why we are doing all we can to help travellers get through these new EU security checks as smoothly as possible.

As well as the over £20m we have given to increase booths for passport checks and minimise disruption, I have raised holidaymakers’ concerns directly with the EU commissioner for transport to make sure they are playing their part to reduce…

We’re working quickly with the rail industry and local partners to support passengers.

I’m deeply concerned to hear reports of the collision involving 2 East Midlands Railway passenger trains.

I’m grateful to emergency services who are on the scene, attending to those affected.

The Government considers that the development covered by the Heathrow expansion NPS is critical to national growth and therefore plans to designate expansion at Heathrow as critical national growth infrastructure.

This is a signal of the importance the government places on the need for expansion and will be an important additional factor in the planning balance.

It’s something I think about quite a lot myself, in terms of this job being absolutely insane, in terms of the number of hours I have to work, and how do I build in a little bit of physical activity into my life.

I’m an overweight 51 year old woman, and what we’re doing through this cycling and walking investment strategy is about how we get, frankly, people like me to be a little bit more active.

I tried couch to 5k, and found it really difficult. But ask me to leave my car at home and cycle five or 10 minutes to the supermarket when I want to pick up some milk and a loaf of bread, that’s something that I could easily do.

The good news is it seems the impact on UK airlines seems limited, with a smaller number of aircraft requiring more complex software and hardware changes.

I ask unanimous consent that notwithstanding rule XXII, all postcloture time on the Kirsch nomination expire at 5 p.m. today; further, that if confirmed, the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table and the President…

in Jon Meacham's biography of President George W. Bush--actually, I believe it is in the biography of President George H. W. Bush--Meacham quotes Prescott Bush, H.W. Bush's father and Senator Prescott Bush, of Connecticut, as saying that…

I heard a lot about Doug Jones before he got here from another courageous former U.S. attorney, Hal Hardin from Nashville. I was not disappointed when he arrived. Doug Jones reminds me of another former Democrat who was very effective in…

here is my view of serving in the U.S. Senate: It is hard to get here, it is hard to stay here, and while you are here, you might as well try to accomplish something good for the country. Accomplishing something good in the U.S. Senate…

I ask unanimous consent that I be recognized to speak for as long as I may require. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to legislative session and be in a period of morning business, with Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I thank my friend Mitch, and I thank my friend Chuck for their remarks. I will have more to say to them later. On March 9, 1967, Senator Howard H. Baker, Jr., the newly elected Senator from Tennessee, made his maiden address, his first…

I am glad I was here to hear the wise words of the Senator from Texas. I look at our region, in the Tennessee Valley, compared to California. California is moving ahead with a policy a lot like Vice President Biden's. They have got a high…

Today, our committee--the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee--had its last hearing of the year, and it was my last hearing as chairman of the committee. While we are on the theme of education, one of the interesting--and I am…
