Proceeding contribution from Lord Faulkner of Worcester (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 20 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on Railways.
Railways
My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Earl for that comment. Can he confirm that his party is willing to take on board the point that I made; namely, that if the plans for high-speed rail are confined just to a line from London to Leeds and Bradford, but that the benefit would flow from having a line to Scotland, the transfer of traffic from air to rail will not be achievable?
