Railways: Midlands
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, will she make an assessment of the potential merits of delivering the next stage of the Midlands Rail Hub.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
Midlands Rail Hub would kickstart economic growth and break down barriers to opportunity by upgrading connectivity and reliability, and last year £123m was committed to design its first phase. In December, the Chancellor launched the second stage of the Spending Review. All infrastructure investment projects are subject to the outcome of the Spending Review, including the next stage of the Midlands Rail Hub.
