John Woodcock
I am not aware of any, but my hon. Friend might make proposals as a result of that excellent tax cut.
Yes, there are tough choices to be made, and the Opposition have set out the choices that we would have made. Of the £9 billion of cuts and efficiencies being made by the Department for Transport, we have accepted more than £6 billion.
Helen Goodman
I am sorry to take my hon. Friend back to the issue of cable transport, but I have a cable lift in my constituency on Mickle fell. I wonder whether people who use it will benefit from the Chancellor’s generosity.
John Woodcock
I am sure that businesses will now see a great opportunity to set up offices at the top of Mickle fell as a result of this great tax cut.
Ministers are making decisions that will make our economy more fragile and that expose where their true priorities lie.
