Proceeding contribution from Tony Lloyd (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 April 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Transport (North-West).


Transport (North-West)

I am grateful to my hon. Friend, who is making a good and important case about the high-speed rail link. Does he agree that it makes even more sense if we ensure that there are adequate rail links from Manchester into cities such as Liverpool and Preston, as well as to places such as Leeds across the Pennines? That would give us the proper integration of the northern economy with the transport infrastructure that we do not have at the moment.
