Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much investment the region of the East of England has received in rail transport infrastructure in comparison to the other regions of England since 2019.

Regional figures on public sector capital expenditure estimates are published in HM Treasury’s Country and Regional Analysis (CRA):

Capital expenditure has been used as a proxy for spending on infrastructure.

Capital railway expenditure attributed to the East of England for the financial years 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 was £1.8bn. This was approximately 7% of all UK capital railway expenditure (see the attached Table 1).
