Written Question
Railways: East of England
Monday 11th November 2024

Asked by: Peter Prinsley (Labour - Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will (a) approve and (b) deliver rail infrastructure upgrades (i) in the Ely area and (ii) at Haughley Junction.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury

This government is committed to delivering economic growth, and projects such as the Ely Area Capacity Enhancement and upgrades to Haughley Junction have the potential to contribute to this. While the previous government made public statements of support for both projects, no funding was provided to allow either to progress.

The Chancellor has been clear about the state of the nation's finances and has launched a multi-year Spending Review. Decisions and timescales about individual projects will be informed by the review process and confirmed in due course.
