The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the deliverability of the Northern Powerhouse Rail project.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

As announced in the Autumn 2024 Budget, we are maintaining momentum on Northern Powerhouse Rail by progressing planning and design works to support future delivery. This improved rail connectivity in the north is a vital step towards better linking people and jobs, creating opportunities for everyone and we will set out further details in due course.
