Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Government Capital Expenditure.
Government Capital Expenditure
Indeed, and I think that the total amount of transport investment being brought forward is about £700 million—a substantial contribution, with the kind of benefits that my hon. Friend describes. We have brought forward a total of £3 billion-worth of capital projects on housing repairs and insulation, school extensions, health centre refurbishments and transport improvements to provide jobs now, when the economy is under pressure, and to improve services.
