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
My hon. Friend raises a very good point. We are keen to invest in the future. One chapter in the report deals with investment in the future and the new jobs that will be created. It is unwise to shed jobs when there is good news around the corner. My hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool, Riverside (Mrs. Ellman) also asked earlier about investment in the regions. If potential employers know that a high speed line is coming, it may well change their attitude.
