Proceeding contribution from Lord Sassoon (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Autumn Budget Forecast.


Autumn Budget Forecast

My Lords, I am delighted that not only can we continue with the HS2 scheme, although it does not impact in any material way on the current spending review period, but also that a number of other exciting rail projects have been announced or confirmed today; for example, the reopening of the Oxford-Bedford link as part of the overall possible link between Oxford and Cambridge, the electrification of the trans-Pennine line, and lots more that is going in rail infrastructure.
