The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans her Department has to increase transport connectivity between the East Midlands and London.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

This government is undertaking an internal review of the department’s capital spend portfolio which will support the development of our new long-term strategy for transport infrastructure. We are working at pace to improve transport provision across the country including transport infrastructure between the East Midlands and London. Any decisions about aspirations for transport improvements will be subject to broader discussions and fiscal decisions made at the Budget on the 30 October 2024 in spring 2025.
