§ Mr. LetwinTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his Department's policy in relation to the proposal to build a funicular railway in the Cairngorms; and if he will make a statement. [38125]
§ Mr. WilsonMy right hon. Friend welcomes investment projects which deliver economic benefits for the residents of the Scottish Highlands and Islands, which deliver value for money in terms of the public sector financial support provided to them and which are consistent with the Government's environmental obligations, both international and domestic. My right hon. Friend and I believe that the proposed Cairngorm funicular railway is such a project.
