Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she last met with freight companies to discuss the Ely Area Capacity Enhancement Scheme.

The Rail Minister regularly meets with the freight industry to discuss a range of issues.

The previous government had committed to a number of projects that were unfunded, including the Ely Area Capacity Enhancement (EACE)

EACE will be kept under review. It is a worthy scheme that will be considered for potential progression in the future as funding becomes available.
