Written Question
Eastern Powerhouse
Wednesday 21st June 2023

Asked by: Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what support they are providing to the Eastern Powerhouse to support the improvement of connectivity, infrastructure, and economic activity in the East of England.

Answered by Lord Johnson of Lainston - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)

The Government is committed to supporting the East of England to grow and prosper.

The Spring Budget reaffirmed our support for East-West Rail, building on significant investment in schemes such as the A14 and A11 upgrades. The region has been a particular focus for the devolution agenda and, in addition to those commitments, is receiving over £500m of investment from the levelling up and towns funds and benefitting from Government support for Freeport East and the Thames Freeport.
