Colin Breed , Liberal Democrat MP for South East Cornwall will today speak to the House on the impact of an unreliable and expensive public transport system on Cornwall 's young students. The cost, in terms of money and time, of getting to colleges from rural locations is continuing to rise, with journeys of two hours not uncommon. The Government appears content to shift the burden of provision onto local colleges, taking more money away from education budgets. This is unsustainable in the long term. Current trends show an upsurge in car ownership amongst 17-19 year olds. There are major implications of this, in terms of environmental damage, congestion on roads not designed for large numbers of cars, and an increase in accidents with inexperienced drivers using poor roads in slippery conditions.

"Liberalism in Britain has lost a great champion, the Liberal Democrats, a great advocate and our public life, a great servant. "
Lord Paddy Ashdown
In memory of Lord Richard Holme, who died on 5 May
"If the Tories want to claim that they are going to cut corporation tax, they have to come clean about how they are going to pay for it. Cutting the main rate of corporation tax to 25% will cost more than £5bn a year. If David Cameron is to have a hope of sounding credible he must state clearly where the money will come from. Otherwise this will be seen as yet another unfunded tax cut. "
