Proceeding contribution from Stephen Williams (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 certainty that electrification out of Paddington will continue as far as Didcot. However, does the Secretary of State agree that it is a reasonable economic assumption that a continuous project of rolling out electrification through to Swindon, Bristol Temple Meads, Bristol Parkway and through the Severn tunnel is likely to provide better value for money than a piecemeal project where engineering teams, recruitment contracts and so on have to be reassembled?
