The Prime Minister
That is a brilliant idea. Let us try that one out on the Mayor of London.
Edward Miliband (Doncaster North) (Lab)
May I ask the Prime Minister about the prospects for change in relation to the eastern leg of phase 2b? The original HS2 vision was to serve and regenerate our towns, but towns in South Yorkshire are facing all of the pain and none, or very little, of the gain. May I commend to him the HS2 North concept, which local campaigners came up with—they got there first—and which has an integrated plan to help towns such as Doncaster and Mexborough?
The Prime Minister
The right hon. Member makes a very good point on behalf of Doncaster. We are certainly looking at the plan that he mentions.
