Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 25 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Railways: Investment.
Railways: Investment
My Lords, we are very keen to move as much freight as possible on to the railway system. The Thameslink project is not relevant to freight but the High Speed 2 project is, because the west coast main line will run out of capacity and, if we do not build High Speed 2, we will not be able to put more freight on to the west coast main line.
