Proceeding contribution from Louise Ellman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 November 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on Transport Committee Report (High Speed Rail).

Transport Committee Report (High Speed Rail)

If the Government decide to proceed, they should issue a statement of their intention to do so. We have already been told that more information will be made available before a statement is issued. Following that, intensive work should be done to deal with some of the issues that we have raised before the House considers a hybrid Bill in 2013. It is proposed that proceedings on the Bill should take place over 18 months, so if the Government decide to go ahead there will be plenty of time for consideration to be given and for more information to be produced before any final decision is made.
