Proceeding contribution from Fiona Mactaggart (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 February 2012. It occurred during Estimates day on Transport and the Economy.
Transport and the Economy
On that issue, I share the view of the hon. Member for Wimbledon (Stephen Hammond) that some projects in the south are essential to UK inward investment. More specifically, I would say that Heathrow is the only hub airport in Europe that does not have a rail link to its immediate hinterland. It has one to London, but nothing to the Thames valley, which is the most productive area for inward investment in the UK and is obviously essential to get growth in Britain.
