Mrs Anne Campbell: I congratulate my right hon. Friend on such investment, but in considering future investment in moving freight from road to rail, will he take into account the huge costs arising from accidents on the A14, such as lorries overturning? Such costs fall mainly on the businesses in my area, because of the resulting traffic congestion.

Mrs Anne Campbell: Will my hon. Friend find out whether there is anything that he can do by regulation to increase the number of women entrepreneurs in the UK? When my right hon. Friend the Minister for Industry and the Regions visited my constituency last week, she revealed that 101,000 women are running their own businesses in the east of England. That represents 27 per cent. of all self-employed people....
Mrs Anne Campbell: I was among those who suggested to the Leader of the House some months ago that this debate should be postponed. I did so partly because many of the Members who decide on this issue today will not be in a position to experience any changes that are made. I understand why such a postponement has not been possible, but as a result, this debate is likely to continue, regardless of the decision...
Mrs Anne Campbell: I do not think that there is conflict between family-friendly hours in the House for Members who live in London and those who live away from London.

Member for Bromley and Chislehurst (Mr. Forth) and the modern technology that he has perhaps espoused for some time, although I am not sure. I, too, use the telephone to contact my constituents, but I find that they are much more likely to be available in...
Mrs Anne Campbell: May I return to the subject of family-friendly hours? Many Members live much too far away to visit their families, whatever our sitting hours, but is it right to deny those who live near London the option of doing so?
