I believe it will go ahead; I have made further inquiries since the hon. Gentleman’s original question.
Martin Vickers (Cleethorpes) (Con)
The Secretary of State visited my constituency in July, closely followed by the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, the right hon. Member for Tunbridge Wells (Greg Clark), clearly recognising the need to boost the local economy. Since that time, we have had two enterprise zones, regional growth fund successes, a new road scheme and the halving of the Humber bridge tolls. My constituents are asking: what next?
Vince Cable
I think there is an expression that goes, “post hoc ergo propter hoc”. It is not just a coincidence.
