High Speed Rail (London – West Midlands) Bill - 23rd March 2016
Here are the climate-related sections of speeches by MPs during the Commons debate High Speed Rail (London – West Midlands) Bill.
16:47 Lilian Greenwood (Labour)
As I was saying, freight operators are turned away, forcing lorries on to our already congested motorways. That has real consequences for our ability to meet our greenhouse gas emissions targets. I have visited places in the areas that my hon. Friend talked about south of Stoke where local stations have closed, not 50 years ago under Dr Beeching but in the last decade after paths for local services were reassigned.
