Proceeding contribution from Theresa Villiers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 October 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Railway Industry.
Railway Industry
The hon. Gentleman may recall from the coalition's programme for government that we want a genuinely national network. Experience tells us that that must be delivered in phases as it takes some time. The ultimate goal, of course, is to take high-speed rail to Scotland. It would be interesting to hear whether the Scottish Government are willing to devote resources to that programme in the future. I have discussed the issue with them, and I hope that in the future they will consider whether they can devote some of their resources to aiding such a project.
