Proceeding contribution from Lord Wharton of Yarm (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rail Investment.


Rail Investment

I welcome my right hon. Friend's commitment to ensuring value for money from the Government's investment in British railways. He is well aware of the importance, or potential importance, to the north-east economy of the Agility Trains bid for intercity express. Will he continue to accept representations from hon. Members from all parties who represent north-east constituencies and would like the investment to come to our region?
