HS3 AND BRADFORD

Motion Text

That this House believes that the proposed HS3 high speed rail link for the north of England will provide substantial economic and social advantages; is encouraged that the Prime Minister has supported the project, but is concerned that the line from Manchester will stop at Leeds and that the great city of Bradford will miss out; notes that Bradford has among the highest unemployment levels and indices of social deprivation in the country; and calls on the Prime Minister and the Government to back the extension of the line to Bradford and the crucial benefits it will bring.
