Mr Lansley
I listened to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions. He made perfectly good sense and used no jargon at all. He set out absolutely the right objective and policy. He is determined to get there on time and on budget. I heard that several times—he could not have been clearer.

When questioned about High Speed 2 on Tuesday, the permanent secretary to the Treasury, Sir Nick Macpherson, told the Treasury Committee that:
“There will be opportunities to reassess it”
and that the Government
“have not signed a blank cheque”.
Will the Leader of the House confirm that that is the Government’s view?
