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


High Speed Rail

Can my right hon. Friend tell me more about his Department's analysis of the interaction between this proposal and the Department's aviation strategy? The proposal to have a link at Birmingham International could significantly transform the way in which people think about the use of Birmingham airport. That link could also provide a fast link into London. Is he absolutely sure that these plans are consistent with his Department's intentions for Birmingham airport and with its national aviation strategy?
