Proceeding contribution from Roger Gale (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Kent Coast Railway Line.
Kent Coast Railway Line
The Minister reading a prepared script quickly will not make any difference to the people we have been talking about for the past hour. They do not want to go to St. Pancras. A journey is from the point at which someone leaves home to the point at which they arrive where they want to be, whether that is back home or their place of work. If he adds the time that it takes to get from St. Pancras to virtually anywhere that anybody wants to be, he will find that it is a longer journey at more expense. He cannot gainsay that. I have the details from the Department with me. It is not improved choice; it is nonsense.
