Proceeding contribution from Lord Hammond of Runnymede (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
The value-for-money appraisal certainly shows that the revised Agility proposal represents the highest value for money of the proposals that we have considered for the replacement of the inter-city diesel express trains. It represents a strong value-for-money case and is affordable. Hitachi has responded in an exemplary way to the Government's commitment to high-speed rail—that changes the dynamics—and to the UK's fiscal situation in order to ensure that we can go ahead with the programme.
