We have a lot to learn from the successful innovations which have already taken place in many of our rural areas. My Lords, I wish to make two comments in relation to transport. Column 1312 for travelling around rural areas. But now, of course, there are far too many cars running round the roads in rural areas which are totally unable to stand that amount of traffic because they were never designed for it. Therefore, workers in rural areas take their cars to drive to work.
Villages then become bereft of cars.
People then find themselves stranded in villages and that is when car-sharing comes into the picture. I wish that I had seen a copy of this White Paper a lot earlier. I am interested in trains and not only in ensuring that trains run. Obviously, they do not always compete directly with buses. I believe that in Norfolk, we should re-open some of those lines which Dr Beeching manged to close.
