Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Iain Stewart (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 24 April 2012 on behalf of the Treasury.
National Infrastructure Plan
- Question
- I very much welcome the plan and congratulate the Government on prioritising rail investment, such as the east-west line through my constituency. May I urge my right hon. Friend to continue that investment in the classic network, as well as finding the funds for High Speed 2?
- Answer
-
My hon. Friend makes an important point. The investment in High Speed 2 will not affect the amount of investment in the traditional rail network. It will allow us to go forward—for example, with the investment in the Oxford to Bedford rail line, which I know will affect his constituency, create 12,000 jobs and give a boost of £38 million to that area's economy.
