High Speed Rail Parliamentary Group Launched

A new cross-party group supporting high-speed rail was launched on Tuesday at an event at the House of Commons. The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) is a powerful new voice in favour of building a new high speed rail line, and has already secured the backing of MPs from across the political divide.

Rachel attended the launch and said:

"Leeds stands to gain massively from High Speed Rail - when constructed my constituency will be just 80 minutes from London. This will have a knock on effect on investment and jobs: that is why I am glad to be a member of the APPG."
