Railways: Cardiff Valley Lines

Lord Roberts of Conwy Excerpts

Monday 28th March 2011 Lords Chamber

[Earl Attlee]

My Lords, the noble Lord is absolutely right. Most of the valley lines are going to be electrified for precisely the reason that he describes.

Will my noble friend bear in mind the increased attractiveness of the valleys in terms of enterprise zones and the promotion of work opportunities if the valley lines are electrified?

[Earl Attlee]

My Lords, yes.
