RUSHES: Coronavirus: Downing Street press conference June 4th

Coronavirus: Downing Street press conference June 4th; ENGLAND: London: Westminster: Downing Street: Grant Shapps press conference SOT (4 of 13) - Our history shows us how quickly we can adapt as a nation. Just as we did nearly 200 years ago, when Britain invented the railway… And just as we did in the 20th century, when we embraced the motor car… And then in the 1950s, when we launched the first passenger jet airliner, coincidentally designed and built in my Hatfield constituency. Each of these transport revolutions was triggered by a unique alignment of people and events. Brilliant engineers and entrepreneurs. Cutting-edge new technologies. Supportive governments. And the needs of citizens. Combining to bring about important change. And now we stand on the verge of a new transport revolution… This time, not limited to one particular means of travel, but rather to all forms of transport… A green transport revolution… Which will help us rebuild a stronger, more prosperous Britain, as well as a cleaner and healthier one.
