Railways: North of England
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether Northern Powerhouse Rail remains designated as an 'England and Wales' project.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Northern Powerhouse Rail project is classified as an England and Wales project. This approach applies to investment in heavy rail by the Department for Transport, including HS2 and East-West Rail, and is consistent with the funding arrangements for all other policy areas reserved in Wales as set out in the Statement of Funding Policy.
