Baroness Vere of Norbiton (Con)
I am very grateful to the noble Lord for highlighting that. The three main elements of the Midlands Rail Hub—west, central and east—would improve connectivity within the Midlands. It is right that we look at the outline business case that has so recently been submitted, and decisions will be made in due course.
Lord Lexden (Con)
Does my noble friend happen to have any figures to hand which would show the extent of the Government’s investment in the railways to which she referred earlier?
Baroness Vere of Norbiton (Con)
I will happily write to my noble friend with all the details of our recent investments and, in due course, we will set out our investments for the future.
