The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 27 June 2025 to Question 61272 on South West Main Line: Dawlish, which rail enhancement projects will be funded by the Spending Review 2025.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Spending Review settlement represents an increase in funding on what has been spent on rail enhancements in recent years. This demonstrates the Government’s commitment to investment in rail and in schemes that support economic growth.
