Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the Midlands Rail Hub on levelling up Leicestershire.
The Department has received the Outline Business Case for Midlands Rail Hub.
We now need to assess the contribution of the scheme to the Government’s objectives, value for taxpayer money, and affordability considering the forthcoming Autumn Statement.
The Outline Business Case will propose timescales for delivery of the scheme.
