Proceeding contribution from Lord Hammond of Runnymede (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 October 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Transport (Investment).


Transport (Investment)

The announcements made both today and last week by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor have contained significant investments in the north-east, but I have to tell the hon. Lady that we consider all these schemes objectively. From memory, I think that the A1 Leeming to Barton scheme had a benefit-cost ratio of less than two, and it is not a scheme that we can envisage being able to fund in the current circumstances during this spending review.
