NORMAN BAKER ATTACKS THE TORIES OVER THEIR ‘LUDICROUS’ RESPONSE TO HIGH SPEED RAIL PROPOSALS

Speaking on the Today Progamme, BBC Radio 4, earlier this morning the Liberal Democrat Shadow Transport Secretary, Norman Baker attacked the Tories’ response to the government’s plans for a high-speed rail link as “ludicrous”. 

The Conservatives, who have refused an invitation from the government to see the plans ahead of their announcement, disagree with the government over where the link should run. 

Norman Baker said the Conservatives were “putting short-term politics ahead of the long-term interest of the country.”
