Proceeding contribution from Baroness Coffey (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 November 2023. It occurred during Budget debate on Autumn Statement Resolutions.
Autumn Statement Resolutions
I hear what the hon. Lady is saying, but instead of building the extra bit of HS2, the money will be used in a variety of ways, mostly on roads and the electrification of train lines. That is an important way of decarbonising our existing rail industry. Between 2010 and 2015, both Secretaries of State, including the current leader of the Liberal Democrat party, were Secretaries of State for the Department of Energy and Climate Change, so they were there when that policy was being developed in a variety of ways, early on in the lifetime of the Government.
