West Coast Main Line

Lord Hanson of Flint Excerpts

Monday 15th October 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr McLoughlin]

We are currently undertaking a ticketing review which I hope will address some of the points that my hon. Friend has made.

[Mr David Hanson (Delyn) (Lab)]

My constituents in Flintshire who use the west coast main line daily will be horrified by the potential £40 million-plus cost resulting from mistakes by the Secretary of State’s Department. This is now what is called in the civil service an unfunded pressure. Will he tell the House how he plans to fund it?

[Mr McLoughlin]

In due course, yes.
