Business question from Lord Wilson of Sedgefield (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 February 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

May we have a debate on the inability of Ministers to make decisions? The north-east of England has been waiting since July last year for a decision on the intercity express programme, which, if it goes ahead, will create 800 jobs in my constituency and 1,000 jobs in the supply chain. In November, the Secretary of State for Transport stated that we would have a decision in the new year. When the House returns, it will be the beginning of March. When can we expect a decision?
