Mr Simon Clarke
Transport sits at the heart of the spending review that has just concluded, and of course we have the £96 billion integrated rail plan. I am very happy to look at the scheme to which the hon. Member refers, but obviously Transport Ministers are engaged in a constant process of making sure that we deliver the projects that are the best value for money and result in the greatest transport bonuses across the country.
Paul Maynard (Blackpool North and Cleveleys) (Con)
Can the Chancellor confirm that, contrary to industry suggestions, the Government remain committed to legislating for access to cash as soon as possible?
The Economic Secretary to the Treasury (John Glen)
Absolutely, I can. We will legislate, regardless of what the industry brings forward.
