Capital Works And Economic Downturn

EDM number 2310 in 2007-08, proposed by David Clelland on 21/10/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Economic situation and Economic policy.

That this House believes that the commissioning of major capital works to stimulate the economy and produce employment opportunities should address regional disparities and concentrate on sustainable development that will benefit future generations as well as the current population; and invites the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Secretary of State for Transport to discuss the dualling of the A1 from Newcastle to Edinburgh, the dualling of the A66 and A69 from the A1 to the M6, the improvement of the A1M to national motorway standards and the revival of local rail services in order to create work in the short term and to benefit the economic development of the North East and create more job opportunities in the longer term.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
