Proceeding contribution from Martin Salter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Draft Legislative Programme.
Draft Legislative Programme
I thank the hon. Gentleman for giving way again, but I want to press him on this matter. Some major strategic decisions have to be made. They may involve airports, or ports, or even the third Thames bridge for the Reading area that the right hon. Member for Maidenhead (Mrs. May) and I have advocated tirelessly. However, it is the devil’s own job to get four or five councils to agree to do anything in a strategic way. Does he accept that sometimes, and for the good of a region, central Government must take the tough decisions?
