Hugh Bayley: Order. Let me say for the benefit of hon. Members that I am also taking what soundings I can. I do not think that the debate is likely to end imminently, but I would be surprised if it went anywhere near half-past five.

- Oral Answers to Questions — Transport: High-speed Rail (22 Oct 2009) has video
Hugh Bayley: It is good to see the Government taking action to promote high-speed railways, but when Network Rail published its report in August favouring the north-west over Yorkshire and the north-east, did the Minister of State notice, as I did, that it had failed to conduct the same economic analysis of the benefits of the north-west route and the Yorkshire route?
