Transport: Infrastructure
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of upgrading transport infrastructure upgrades on economic growth.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
Growth is this government’s top priority and formed a fundamental part of the analysis informing the Spending Review. Our significant investment in transport infrastructure will deliver a step-change in transport connectivity across the country, which is vital for economic growth. It boosts productivity by reducing travel time for businesses; widening access to markets and supporting trade; better matching workers’ skills to high quality jobs; and increasing the economic density of the country.
