Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will provide a breakdown of new funding for transport in South Yorkshire as a result of the cancellation of phase 2a of HS2.

Under the Network North plan we have announced an uplift in the funding provided for City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS), so that the total CRSTS 2 allocation for South Yorkshire will now be £1.45bn. We have also announced the extension of the £2 bus fare cap from 1 November 2023 until the end of 2024 and billions to fix potholes in our roads, as well as road and rail upgrades and improvements which will improve transport for people across the region.
