High Speed Rail (No. 2)

EDM number 570 in 2010-12, proposed by Chris Williamson on 20/07/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Railways.

That this House welcomes the cross party consensus supporting the case for high speed rail; believes that the medium- and long-term economic and environmental advantages of high speed rail have been well established; calls on the Government to ensure that high speed rail will not fall victim to the need to reduce the budget deficit; and further calls on the Government to set out a timetable to ensure the start of construction of high speed rail at the earliest possible opportunity.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
