Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of Great British Railways enterprise hubs on local (a) economies and (b) communities in those areas.

Alongside Great British Railways’ Headquarters in Derby, other towns and cities across Britain will host regional hubs, which will be empowered to take decisions in the interests of their local area and will have investment powers to benefit local communities. No decisions have been made yet on the location of these hubs.
