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


Transport (Greater Manchester)

Certainly, and that is the reason why we have set up a small pump-priming fund to enable towns and cities to develop proposals to tackle congestion in the future. Of course, if Sheffield and, indeed, other cities across the United Kingdom want to propose ambitious plans to do so, we will consider them on their merits. Indeed, if £200 million a year appeared not to be adequate, we would reassess the size of the pot to ensure that it was generous enough to fund the right sort of proposals.
