The Prime Minister
I have heard representations on the Golborne spur from many people in this House, and we will certainly be looking at the matter.
Sir Graham Brady (Altrincham and Sale West) (Con)
I welcome the increased priority for Northern Powerhouse Rail and the link from Manchester to Leeds in particular, but will my right hon. Friend ensure an urgent review of parts of the route for phase 2b, including the Golborne spur, which is entirely unnecessary and likely to cost more than £1 billion—completely wasted money? Will he also look at the fact that the station for Manchester airport is absurdly not at Manchester airport, and will instead be built on ancient woodland at Davenport Green in my constituency?
The Prime Minister
My hon. Friend makes excellent points about the Golborne spur and Manchester airport. We will certainly be looking at both issues.
