The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress she has made on the new headquarters for Great British Railways in Derby.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Work to develop options for a HQ location is under way. Derby City Council and other industry partners are involved in a continuing dialogue to set out the vision for the HQ and the sector within Derby, bringing high-skilled jobs to a city already brimming with rail industry talent. The Secretary of State recently visited Derby to deliver a speech updating on our plans for rail reform.
