Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many jobs Network Rail and Homes England estimate have been (a) lost and (b) displaced within the York Central Development Outline Planning redline area since March 2019; and of those how many are rail jobs.

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government does not hold this information. However, the Ministry’s position is that development and regeneration are good for local economies, and are therefore likely to boost job numbers in the area.
