Harriett Baldwin
I welcome the words from colleagues and from the Minister this afternoon. We have heard that there is support from all parts of the House for the continued growth of and investment in the North Cotswolds line. There was recognition of the importance of the geographic area and its significance to our country. There was a welcome commitment from the Minister, which I will hold him to, to give us an answer by the end of February. I encourage his officials to go through the recommendations, in particular option 5, as quickly as possible. I note that the end of February is still before this year’s Budget.
Question put and agreed to.
Resolved,
That this House has considered North Cotswold line transformation.
Graham Stringer (in the Chair)
Will Members please leave quietly and quickly? We have half an hour for the next debate.
