Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Chris Philp and Paul Holmes

Tuesday 11th October 2022 Commons Chamber

[Paul Holmes (Eastleigh) (Con)]

Since the 1970s, residents in Eastleigh have long been expecting, and have been promised at times, funding for the Chickenhall Lane bypass, including being allocated funding in the 2015 Red Book. Will the Minister agree to meet me and Hampshire County Council to discuss getting this sorted for people who have simply waited far too long?

[The Chief Secretary to the Treasury (Chris Philp)]

My hon. Friend is a tireless advocate for that and other projects in his constituency. I and perhaps colleagues from the Department for Transport would be delighted to meet him and his county council colleagues to discuss that important project.
