East West Rail Line
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when the decision was made to reclassify the Oxford-Cambridge line from an England-only project to an England and Wales project.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
As rail infrastructure projects have not been devolved to Wales the categorisation of these projects is in line with wider devolution policy managed by Treasury.
Every Government funded rail project in Wales or England are always categorised as England and Wales investment projects.
The categorising of East West Rail as an England and Wales project does not mean that Wales is disadvantaged in any way.
