Douglas Chapman (SNP) asks Jeremy Hunt if HS2 has “hit the buffers”. He suggests the money should be spent elsewhere?
Hunt says he does not agree. Countries like Germany or Japan have less regional inequality because people can travel around the country much more easily. In Japan you can get on a bullet train and get to Tokyo within three hours.
Chapman says he does not expect a bullet train to arrive in Scotland any time soon.
