HC Deb 30 January 2004 vol 417 c529W
Mr. Redwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what action the UK is taking to comply with EU Quick Start programme objectives in transport projects. [151497]

Dr. Howells

The EU Quick Start programme comprises key projects, within existing Community programmes, that meet a set of criteria including readiness to start by end 2006 and impact on economic growth. There are two UK transport projects included in the programme. We are reviewing whether there are others that meet the criteria for inclusion.
