Business question from Lord Evans of Rainow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 February 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
A recent e-mail to Members from the Stop HS2 campaign was riddled with inaccuracies, exaggerations and distortions. The high-speed rail link between London and Manchester is absolutely essential for promoting investment in northern constituencies such as mine, but unfortunately a ragtag alliance of luddites and nimbys appears to be making ludicrous arguments against the plans. May we have a debate on high-speed rail so that these falsehoods can be tackled head on?
