HC Deb 14 November 2000 vol 356 cc627-8W
6. Mr. Brady

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what discussions he has had with the new First Minister on the impact of the pre-Budget report on transport between Scotland and England. [136326]

Dr. Reid

I have regular discussions with the First Minister on a wide range of issues including the benefits to Scotland from the Government's economic policies. In this context my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer's recent pre-Budget report contains further measures of benefit to all transport users.
