Proceeding contribution from Bill Esterson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 October 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Transport (Investment).
Transport (Investment)
I welcome the news that the Thornton to Switch Island relief road will be funded, but will the Minister clarify what he means by revised funding bids from local authorities? Sefton council has already put almost £6 million towards the project and is ““maxed”” up to the limit, so to speak, so it is difficult to see how it could find further funds. However, in response to an earlier question the Minister said that money might be released from savings elsewhere. Could that money be used to reduce Sefton's overall bill? Does he see it going up or down?
