Integrated Rail Plan: North and Midlands

"Levelling up across the north means improving our transport and connectivity links for communities such as mine in Hyndburn and Haslingden.

International Travel Rules

"Constituents across Hyndburn and Haslingden have been in touch with me because they have booked holidays and are due to depart soon, but have unfortunately been “pinged” and forced into isolation after close contacts. Most of these people are double-jabbed. Can the Minister confirm that discussions between his Department and …..."

Written Question
Bus Services: Coronavirus
Wednesday 28th October 2020

Asked by: Sara Britcliffe (Conservative - Hyndburn)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will put plans in place to provide financial support to the coach industry.

Answered by Baroness Maclean of Redditch

We have announced several financial support measures available to UK businesses, including the coach industry. This includes measures announced on 24 September as part of the Winter Economy Plan. Further support was announced by the Chancellor on 22 October for businesses in local lockdown areas, in addition to changes to the Job Support Scheme (JSS), and increased business grants.

In addition, we are supporting coaches to be used for school transport and public transport, where appropriate. The Department for Education has provided over £70 million to local transport authorities to provide additional dedicated school and college capacity in our transport system, including coaches.

We continue to work closely with representatives from the coach sector including the Confederation of Passenger Transport, and with other government departments, to understand the ongoing risks and issues, including demand considerations and how these could be addressed.

Written Question
Skipton-Colne Railway Line
Tuesday 14th January 2020

Asked by: Sara Britcliffe (Conservative - Hyndburn)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment he has made of the potential merits of re-opening the rail link between Skipton and Colne.

Answered by Chris Heaton-Harris

We expect to receive the outputs of the further feasibility work soon, to complement the initial Strategic Outline Business Case completed in December 2018. These will inform the Government’s decision as to whether a reinstatement scheme should progress to the ‘develop’ stage of the Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline.

This is part of our new approach to rail enhancements to ensure we address the needs of passengers and freight, and that funding commitments appropriately reflect the stage of development of schemes.
