Transport Infrastructure

Wera Hobhouse Excerpts

Tuesday 11th February 2020 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

My hon. Friend speaks eloquently and passionately for Huddersfield, which is among the many towns and cities that will benefit from HS2.

[Wera Hobhouse (Bath) (LD)]

To announce 250 miles of new cycle routes as a big green infrastructure investment is a complete joke; it will mean only a few extra miles per local authority, and we cyclists know what they look like. If the Prime Minister agrees that we need many more continuous segregated cycle routes, how can he begin to explain how 250 miles across the country will cut it?

[The Prime Minister]

This is just the beginning.
