because the chair of the transport select committee today, huw merriman, said if you take as a stand—alone, that's a heck of a lot of money. i mean, if you compare it, for instance, to whatjoe biden is spending in the united states, and bear in mind, he's just passed this $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan, they are spending just $66 billion on rail. so, by comparison, the uk's spending an awful lot of money. it is a lot of money, but we must remember that we've just returned from the cop summit, where we have to make that modal shift both for passenger and freight when 31% of emissions comes from our transport system. we absolutely need that investment, and that's why we need things like northern powerhouse rail to get people out of their cars and lorries of our road and freight and passengers onto our rails. i've got to ask you then, given that you took such a beating in the northern constituencies at the last election, what is labour going to offer? well, we set out a comprehensive plan for transport. indeed, it was labelled as the most sustainable transport plan that has ever been produ
