Ministerial Visits to the North West

Attended two ministerial visits to the North West in two days.

David Cameron was in the South Manchester area yesterday: went to a very well attended meeting, also attended by fellow Euro candidates Saj Karim MEP, Kevin Beaty amd Joe Barker. PM was on excellent form.

Then today the Secretary of State for Transport, Patrick McLoughlin, has been in Cumbria. Rory Stewart MP has been showing him some of the roads which need investment (we've been asking him to dual the A66).

And yes, he was also asked about Petrol/fuel prices. He gave a reasonbly sympathetic reponse.

Kevin Beaty and myself were among those who attended a reception in Skelton Village Hall, north west of Penrith, to meet the Secretary of State.

Both DC and Patrick were strongly in favour of HS2, and so am I - if this project is completed it will  help the North a great deal. But of course no major infrastructure project in this country is ever completed quickly.
