SOUTH YORKSHIRE SUPERTRAM

Early day motion 659, tabled 19 January 1998 by Lord Allan of Hallam (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 12 members.

That this House expresses its concern at the decision of the High Court in respect of the commitment of the previous government to pay for the full costs of the South Yorkshire SuperTram; fears that this will discourage other authorities from implementing new rapid transit systems; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to use its discretion to pay the sum still in dispute.

Signatures by party: Labour 8, Liberal Democrat 4.
