Proceeding contribution from Neil Turner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 June 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Transport (Greater Manchester).


Transport (Greater Manchester)

The economic success of the UK has led Greater Manchester, and the city of Manchester in particular, to become a huge success. It is important that the city of Manchester is not choked on its own success and that the benefits are spread throughout the borough. That is why I welcome the infrastructure provided by the improvements to Wigan Wallgate and Wigan North Western stations and the additional and better rail links. Will my right hon. Friend announce at some stage in the future that there will be further improvements to the road infrastructure, which is equally vital to boroughs such as Wigan as the rail network improvements?
