Proceeding contribution from Andrea Leadsom (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

As I will not get the opportunity to speak later, I want to ask the hon. Gentleman whether he agrees that there is a concern about the total cost of high-speed rail, bearing in mind that the Y shape is not even known yet, and the rising cost of mitigation and compensation that is the inevitable result of that uncertainty? Does he share my concern about the impact that that will have on scarce resources?
