The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she plans to take to improve transport links between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The UK Government intends to reset its relationships with all the devolved governments including the Northern Ireland Executive. The Secretary of State has already met with John O’Dowd MLA, Minister for Infrastructure, to discuss shared transport priorities. By working together, both governments can drive economic growth, deliver integrated transport networks, promote social mobility, and tackle regional inequalities by improving connectivity across the whole of the UK.
