Infrastructure: North West
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she is taking to support the Northern Arc infrastructure project.
Answered by Darren Jones
The Government has already demonstrated its commitment to improving Northern transport infrastructure. At and since the Budget last Autumn, further commitment and funding has been provided for key transport programmes in the North, including the Transpennine Route Upgrade, an £11 billion programme that will transform rail connectivity from Manchester through to York.
Future investment priorities for Northern transport infrastructure will be considered in the round as part of the Spending Review.
