Proceeding contribution from David Tredinnick (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 March 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on High Speed Rail.


High Speed Rail

There will be real concern in parts of the east midlands such as Hinckley and Leicester that the connections to the new link might not be adequate. If the usage of the west coast main line were to decrease, the usage of the lines that feed into it could also decrease and the lines could possibly close. Can the Minister give me any reassurance on that?
