Bob Spink | 507 c11WH (Link to this contribution) New roads?

John Leech | 507 c11WH (Link to this contribution) No. The cut relates to road building.

Nigel Evans | 507 c5WH (Link to this contribution) I hope so. The camera will at least deter people from using the postbox. If we are serious about re...

John Leech | 507 c5WH (Link to this contribution) Does the hon. Gentleman know whether the Government are paying rent to Royal Mail for that?

Graham Stringer | 507 c5WH (Link to this contribution) As the hon. Gentleman continues his rant against speed cameras and taxes, will he tell us two things...

Bob Spink | 507 c4WH (Link to this contribution) The hon. Gentleman has tempted me to my feet by mentioning toll roads. People in south Essex must pa...

Nigel Evans | 507 c4-5WH (Link to this contribution) The hon. Gentleman has made a strong point. If that promise was made, it should be adhered to. Peopl...

Bob Spink | 507 c2-3WH (Link to this contribution) I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on bringing this issue to the House. It is, of course, very import...

Bob Spink | 507 c3WH (Link to this contribution) Very good.

Nigel Evans | 507 c3WH (Link to this contribution) I must say that there is an argument to be made for doing just that. People cannot avoid having to p...

John Leech | 507 c10WH (Link to this contribution) Much needs to be done to attract more people on to public transport. The statistics show that more p...
