The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate she has made of the proportion of the Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline funding that will be provided to (a) Essex and (b) South Basildon and East Thurrock constituency.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline funding is not allocated based on local authorities or constituencies. Rather, investments are made on schemes which deliver the greatest value for money for the national network and are most aligned to the Government’s priorities.
