Proceeding contribution from Ruth Kelly (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Sustainable Railways.
Sustainable Railways
I will of course look at any proposal that an hon. Member puts before me, but I urge the hon. Gentleman to think about the potential costs of any improvements that he may suggest, because, ultimately, they have to be funded either by the taxpayer or by the fare-payer—or we will be unable to deliver the investment. I have yet to hear a plausible exposition of an Opposition policy that would enable greater investment in capacity.
