Gavin Newlands
What the shadow Secretary of State said—Hansard can ask him later what he said. If the Government want to be serious about the revolution, that short-termism has to stop. Spending seven times more per person on transport investment in London than in north-east England is not the answer to anything. Learn the lessons from Scotland, make decarbonisation a priority, and the economic rewards of the transition can be spread across the UK.
Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Eleanor Laing)
It is a great pleasure to call, to make her maiden speech, Olivia Blake.
