EXCLUSIVE: Numpty John Leech MP in a TIFF with Stephen Ladyman?
Another fool question from John Leech MP:John Leech (Manchester, Withington, Liberal Democrat)
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether bids to the Transport Innovation Fund will be assessed on their potential contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions as well as their effectiveness in reducing congestion.
Received this answer from Stephen Ladyman MP:Stephen Ladyman (Minister of State, Department for Transport)
The environmental impacts of Transport Innovation Fund proposals, including carbon dioxide emissions, will be considered as part of the assessment of TIF bids.
Sadly although the acronym TIF was given a link but this was not to the expected details of the Fund to rub Leech's face in his ignorance. Instead it links to the wiki definition of "Tagged Image Format File" or TIFF which is an old school graphics format:
[p pid="a.1673W.8/1"]The environmental impacts of Transport Innovation Fund proposals, including carbon dioxide emissions, will be considered as part of the assessment of [a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIF"]TIF[/a] bids.[/p]
Tory bloggers will no doubt enjoy giving Ladyman childish names (again) and accusing his Department of deliberately conspiring to confuse the Lib Dem Mimicster for bicycle clips? Who probably hasn't noticed.
