Proceeding contribution from Robert Goodwill (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 April 2014. It occurred during Debate on bill on High Speed Rail (London - West Midlands) Bill: Select Committee.

High Speed Rail (London - West Midlands) Bill: Select Committee

I thank my right hon. Friend for giving way today. The advice that the Committee takes and the expertise that it chooses to draw on will be a matter for the Committee itself. Of course, the expertise of HS2 will be available to the Committee, should it wish to avail itself of that. Many of the petitioners may well be experts, in particular the environmental non-governmental organisations that wish to petition. I do not think that there will be a shortage of offers of advice to members of the Committee. However, that is a matter for them as they conduct their work and not for Ministers.
