George Howarth Excerpts

Tuesday 11th February 2020 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

We will make sure that businesses and communities are fully involved in the preparations for High Speed North.

[Sir George Howarth (Knowsley) (Lab)]

The devil, as the Prime Minister well knows, is in the detail. May I cautiously, though, welcome the announcement on HS2, and the announcement about linking up the northern powerhouse great cities? In the course of that, he said, “and Liverpool”. Could he give us some indication as to what he meant by that?

[The Prime Minister]

That is at the next stage of the consultation.
