Another day, another developing scandal in a privatised industry....
this time, its the Dept. of Transport warning rail firms that their common use of 'lay prosecutors' may be illegal (by which they mean they have taken legal advice that has concluded they should never present cases in courts), and thus throws into doubt a range of fare-evasion prosecutions (I would imagine).
Another cost-cutting exercise that is about to become unstuck!
