Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor David Clelland (Labour), on Wednesday, 15 November 2006, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 15 members in total.


MAGLEV

That this House congratulates the local authorities in the North East of England for their decision to promote Maglev as the preferred future inter-regional rapid transport mode; recognises that current thinking on high speed rail links is based on old technology that will be as outdated as steam trains by the end of the 21st century; and welcomes the recognition by North East councils that the region needs modern transport links that will close the North-South divide and stimulate the region's economy.
