The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps her Department is taking to apply the findings of the 2025 Green Book Review to help ensure that transport schemes in rural areas like Cornwall receive adequate funding.

Answered by James Murray

The government is changing the Green Book and how it is used to make sure that every region is given a fair hearing when it comes to investment. That is why a shorter, more streamlined version of the Green Book will be published soon.
