High Speed Rail Links In The UK

EDM number 1254 in 2005-06, proposed by Mark Lazarowicz on 13/12/2005.

That this House welcomes the publication by the Institution of Civil Engineers, The Missing Link - A Report on high-speed rail links in the UK; agrees with its conclusions that the construction of a high-speed rail link between Scotland, the North and Midlands of England and London would bring considerable benefit to the UK transport system, economy and environment; and urges the Government to commission the detailed study on the development of such a line called for in the institution's report.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
