Proceeding contribution from Charles Kennedy (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rail Investment.
Rail Investment
I welcome the encouraging implications of the Secretary of State's statement for the maintenance of through-direct links from the north of Scotland to the London metropolis, particularly for the Highland Chieftain—his Department accepted the well-backed petition of The Inverness Courier on that. What is his prognosis for overnight services—the sleeping-car rolling stock—between the Scottish cities, plus Fort William, and London? They are long overdue and much needed.
