Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 March 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on High Speed Rail.
High Speed Rail
Of course, I am delighted for the regions that will benefit from this announcement, but I remind the Minister that an awful lot of the country lies west of Reading. Can he give me a date for the electrification of the route to Bristol and tell me when any action is going be taken to improve the Great Western line via Frome and Castle Cary down to Devon and Cornwall, which seems to be the big loser so far as these announcements are concerned? It used to be God's wonderful railway; it is not that any more.
