Proceeding contribution from Lord Wharton of Yarm (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
It is a matter for hon. Members whether they see their glasses as half empty or half full, but I am pleased to see the Government busily topping glasses up. As a representative of a north-east constituency, I am also pleased to say that last week we had the excellent news that Teesside Cast Products was being sold to SSI—Sahaviriya Steel Industries—and now we have today's announcement from the Government. Does my right hon. Friend agree that this is a vote of confidence—not just by the private sector, but by the Government—in the skills and abilities of those working in manufacturing right across the north-east?
