Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government what forecast they have made of the logistics infrastructure investment required over the next 30 years to support (1) UK business growth, (2) freight transport capacity growth, (3) freight transport decarbonisation, and (4) communities.
The Government has not made an economy wide needs assessment for logistics infrastructure, such as warehouse and freight interchanges. The current and forecast needs of the road and rail freight sectors inform the prioritisation and delivery of the Roads Investment Strategy (RIS) and the Rail Network Enhancements Programme (RNEP).
