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
My hon. Friend makes a plea for Bombardier, which has a site in his constituency. Bombardier is involved in programmes for the delivery of other trains in the United Kingdom, and I think that it has a very bright future in the UK train market. The IEP project is a train availability contract to supply trains, ready for use and fully maintained. Hitachi or the Agility consortium will therefore be entering into an obligation to deliver specified numbers of trains ready and available for use in accordance with that contract, and it will be a matter for them to ensure that those trains are made available.
