Proceeding contribution from Ian Mearns (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

I welcome the fact that the hon. Gentleman has brought to the House's attention the disparities with proposed investment packages in transport. Ministers will try to argue this away but they cannot argue away the extent of the disparity when more than £2,500 per head of population is being spent in the south-east compared with just a fiver in the north-east.
