Proceeding contribution from Justine Greening (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 March 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rail Reform.


Rail Reform

That is an interesting question. I think we all understand that electrification can bring a broad set of benefits. The previous Government electrified 39 miles of line in 13 years—that is about 3 miles a year—and we have already announced that 800 miles of line are to be electrified. I hope that answers the hon. Gentleman's question.
