Proceeding contribution from Chris Leslie (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rail Investment.


Rail Investment

The Secretary of State will acknowledge that, in my constituency certainly, there will be huge disappointment that midland main line electrification did not merit even a mention in his statement. Some of my constituents could be forgiven for thinking that he has something of a grudge against the east midlands, although I am sure—and we all hope—that that is not the case. When will the decisions on control period 5 be taken, so that we might at least have the prospect of that much-needed investment?
