Written Question
Public Transport: West Midlands
Monday 7th September 2026

Asked by: Liam Byrne (Labour - Birmingham Hodge Hill and Solihull North)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of public transport connectivity on levels of regional inequality in the West Midlands.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The Government is supporting improvements to public transport connectivity across the West Midlands through the £2.4 billion Transport for City Regions settlement allocated to the West Midlands Combined Authority through to 2031/32.

This devolved funding provides the Combined Authority and the Mayor with the flexibility to determine regional investment priorities, enabling funding to be directed towards projects that support connectivity, economic growth and the reduction of regional inequalities.

Written Question
Trams: Birmingham
Tuesday 1st September 2026

Asked by: Liam Byrne (Labour - Birmingham Hodge Hill and Solihull North)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the next spending review will include provision for completing the East Birmingham tram extension.

Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

Extensions to the Birmingham Metro are being delivered by West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA). WMCA has been allocated £2.4 billion of Transport for City Regions (TCR) funding for the period up until 2031/32. This funding settlement is devolved, and it is for the Mayor to determine how this funding is allocated across the city region in line with local transport priorities. Decisions on funding at future Spending Reviews have not been made and will be taken in the usual way.
