Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister – in the House of Commons at 11:30 am on 13 June 2012.
I am grateful for that enthusiastic endorsement. I believe that we should go ahead with HS2. It is important for the country’s economy, and it is important that we get on board this high-speed rail revolution. It links to the question asked by my hon. Friend’s neighbour, as it were, my hon. Friend Zac Goldsmith, about Heathrow. Many flights could be avoided if we had a network of high-speed rail in our country, and I am keen to press ahead.
