Theme Parks: Public Transport
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Transport on improving public transport for construction workers accessing the site of the future Universal theme park.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Government worked closely with Universal Destinations & Experiences to secure its first investment in Europe, which could be worth £50 billion in economic benefits, and create an estimate 28,000 jobs in the creative, hospitality and construction sectors. The Government will continue to work with Universal and other organisations involved in the delivery of this project to ensure operations are sustainable, which will include enabling construction and other workers to access the site via public transport.
