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, I am grateful for my noble friend’s contribution on the importance of the IEP to the north-east. That was no doubt very high up in the mind of the previous Administration, quite rightly. My right honourable friend the Secretary of State is fully aware of all these factors and the importance of, as my noble friend put it, a boost to the north-east. My noble friend talked about a lower cost bid. That is welcome as well, but it is important that we select the correct technical solution to the problem of having a bi-mode capability.
