Proceeding contribution from Stephen Hammond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Intercity Express and Rail Electrification.


Intercity Express and Rail Electrification

I welcome unequivocally my right hon. Friend's statement and its excellent news for rail infrastructure. He will be aware that ongoing designs for existing platforms are usually more cost effective than new designs. Will he confirm to the House, therefore, that the revised Agility proposal represents better value for the British taxpayer both in what it represents and in cost terms?
