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

I always learn something in these situations. I thought that the world's first railway journey started somewhere up near Darlington, so if it ended in the Welsh valleys, it was doing extremely well. My right hon. Friend the Rail Minister will be happy to discuss this matter further with my hon. Friend. I know that she has already discussed the proposal with him and is looking at the business case for it with a view to its inclusion in future programmes.
