Proceeding contribution from Louise Ellman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 October 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Transport (Investment).


Transport (Investment)

I welcome the positive parts of the statement, but there are major problems relating to the very important strategic schemes currently funded and identified through regional allocations. Does the Secretary of State agree with his statement to the Select Committee on Transport that structures wider than local economic partnerships would be necessary to examine such schemes in the future? Does he still maintain that this will bring more localism, given that we are told that future schemes of this nature will be funded partly through the regional growth fund and that decisions on that fund are to be taken entirely nationally?
