Proceeding contribution from Lord Harrington of Watford (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 February 2012. It occurred during Estimates day on Transport and the Economy.
Transport and the Economy
Having listened carefully to my hon. Friend's argument and seen some of the evidence that was given to the Committee, it seems to me that, although it could be argued that investment in transport might not be such a direct factor in economic growth, we must also consider what would happen if we did not make that investment and this country fell further behind, which I think would lead to economic shrinkage.
