Mr Speaker
I am sure copies will be placed subsequently in the Library, preferably signed by the right hon. Gentleman.
David Mowat (Warrington South) (Con)
T3. The local growth deal recently announced a much needed new bridge over the River Mersey in Warrington. I thank the Minister for his support on that but ask that he continue to support the need for a second bridge over both the Mersey and the ship canal, which is a strategic priority for the local enterprise partnership. This will make a much needed difference to the town.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport (Mr Robert Goodwill)
Local growth deals across the country have been a great success in supporting local priorities. A second crossing in Warrington falls firmly into the category of a local priority, and the purpose of the local growth fund is to reflect those strongly.
