Proceeding contribution from Bill Wiggin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Transport (Wales) Bill.
Transport (Wales) Bill
I am not inclined to use weasel words—I leave that to the Labour party. The best possible use should be made of Welsh taxpayers’ money, and it is not yet clear whether subsidising air transport is the best use. As I have said to the hon. Member for Montgomeryshire (Lembit Öpik), however, if the case is made, my mind is not made up and I remain open to the argument. I recognise that the Bill will open up the argument, which must be had and won in order for the subsidy to be justifiable.
