Transport: North of England

Asked by Matt VickersConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 4 June 2025UIN 54021

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to her Department's publication Network North transforming British transport published in October 2023, when she plans to release this funding.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The previous government announced investment for several transport capital schemes which were unfunded, and this government has had to make difficult decisions about priorities for infrastructure and transport investment. This process is still continuing, and further plans for investment in transport infrastructure will be set out at the multi-year spending review next month.
