Proceeding contribution from Albert Owen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Transport (Wales) Bill.
Transport (Wales) Bill
The hon. Gentleman says that there is no demand for transport between north and south, but I tried to explain earlier—though I did not have the figures at my fingertips—that about 150 people per day travel from north-west Wales to Cardiff on business by car. Surely that provides an initial demand that would stimulate developments. As well as people from the health service, members of the business community have to spend a great deal of time travelling by road or rail to Cardiff. The hon. Gentleman should not dismiss such people and should not make up stories about everyone going to Liverpool.
