Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lord Hammond of Runnymede and Kate Green

Tuesday 25th October 2016 Commons Chamber

[Kate Green (Stretford and Urmston) (Lab)]

As the Chancellor is considering investment in roads in his autumn statement, will he look sympathetically at the need for investment to support the substantial Carrington development in my constituency, both in the M60-M62 network and in the relief road that will be necessary to support journeys in and out of the Carrington area?

[Mr Hammond]

I do not know the project that the hon. Lady talks about. I assume that it is a housing development, and we are certainly interested in the way in which infrastructure investment can not only deliver in its own right, but enable much-needed housing development. If she would like to let me have a written submission, I would be happy to look at it.
