The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the East West Rail will be designated as an England and Wales project.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

East West Rail is set to cover the route from Oxford to Cambridge and is therefore part of the RNEP portfolio which covers funding for projects in England and Wales. The RNEP portfolio can be distributed to any scheme across England and Wales.
