Proceeding contribution from Lord Wilson of Sedgefield (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

The campaign in the area is a cross-party campaign. We have already arranged a meeting with the Minister of State on 24 April to discuss the public service obligation and the way forward. One of the reasons why One North East did not apply for a PSO was the cost that involved, and I am concerned about asking the LEP to do that. If One North East did not have the money, I am sure that the LEP will not. I think that we need to be a little more sophisticated in how we raise money to go ahead with this.
