The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she is taking to help increase economic growth in Norfolk.

Answered by Torsten Bell

The government is restoring stability, increasing investment, and reforming the economy to drive growth across every region of the UK.

Norfolk will receive £32.5 million in Local Transport Grant funding enabling local authorities to deliver transport improvements including more zero emission buses, cycleways, accessibility and congestion improvement measures.

The record breaking results of our most recent offshore wind auction will support projects in the region, delivering further local jobs and growth.
