Public Spending

Lord Harrington of Watford Excerpts

Thursday 17th June 2010 Commons Chamber

[Danny Alexander]

A meeting would be better held with Ministers from the Department for Transport, who, I am sure, would be willing to agree to such a meeting.

[Richard Harrington (Watford) (Con)]

Will the Chief Secretary enlighten us as to the number of projects that were approved by the previous Government in the month before the general election?

[Danny Alexander]

A significant number of projects—with a significant cash value—were agreed in the last month before the election, and I will happily give the hon. Gentleman more details later.
