Eagle off the rails
Maria Eagle on Labour’s High Speed Rail policy, 6th February 2011:
Labour will next month launch a root and branch review of our transport policy with nothing ruled in or out.
Maria Eagle on Labour’s High Speed Rail policy, 28th February 2011:
[High speed rail] has the potential to bring our major cities closer together, boosting investment and economic growth in the north of England.The Tory-led government is only planning to take powers to construct the line as far as Birmingham which casts real doubt on their long-term commitment to delivering HSR in the north. They should think again and ensure the whole route is included in the forthcoming legislation.”
I’m sorry, I’m confused. Did the root and branch review take place while I wasn’t looking?
