Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Transport (Wales) Bill.
Transport (Wales) Bill
We are beginning to reach consensus. We have established that pump priming is acceptable and that infrastructure investment probably makes sense. If research were to show that the investment of subsidy would be more than exceeded by an increase in economic activity, would the hon. Gentleman think that it was a reasonable investment? I am not about to whip such evidence out of my pocket, but does he agree that it would be a useful area for economic research?
