Proceeding contribution from Lord Khan of Tooting (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 March 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on High Speed Rail.
High Speed Rail
As ever, my hon. Friend makes a good point. When High Speed 2 Ltd was looking at where the interchanges would go, it also considered any unintended consequences. Its report clearly states that, rather the project fuelling demand for aviation, it will result in a shift from domestic aviation to high speed rail of between 8 and 11 per cent. It will also lead to better journeys for people travelling to airports further away.
