Proceeding contribution from Earl of Mar and Kellie (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 31 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Channel Tunnel Rail Link (Supplementary Provisions) Bill.


Channel Tunnel Rail Link (Supplementary Provisions) Bill

My Lords, I support the amendment. It is important that the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, or High Speed 1, should be incorporated wholly into the public railway network in a uniform fashion because I hope that one day we will have a high-speed network, and I do not want the precedent to occur whereby the high-speed lines are for some reason governed differently.
