Cat Smith (Lancaster and Fleetwood) (Lab):...The hon. Gentleman is
making a strong case for the collaboration that is truly going on
to try to make Eden Project North happen. I hope that he can see,
while he is reading his speech, that the Minister is making some
very positive nods of the head. I hope that means that the Minister
has his cheque book ready to ensure that the project can be
delivered. The hon. Gentleman has made some points about the
different stakeholders that are involved,...Request free trial
