Proceeding contribution from Lord Hammond of Runnymede (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 December 2010. It occurred during Urgent question on Winter Weather.
Winter Weather
The reality is that the problem on the ground is essentially transport-focused at this stage. Problems in other areas such as the health service are directly related to transport issues, so the Department for Transport has to take the lead. That is what we are doing. We are regularly meeting and communicating with the Highways Agency, train operators and airport operators to monitor the situation; we are doing so on an hourly basis. If it is necessary to convene a meeting of Cobra later today, we will do so.
