Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between David Mundell and Louise Haigh

Thursday 21st November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Louise Haigh]

Sure thing.

[David Mundell (Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale) (Con)]

My condolences to John Prescott’s family. I am long enough in the tooth to remember when he was the Transport Secretary.

A feasibility study on the Borders rail link was a fundamental part of the Borderlands growth deal. For some reason, the Scottish Government do not seem to prioritise transport links with England, so it is vital that the Department pushes that forward.

[Louise Haigh]

I am engaged with the Transport Minister in Scotland on exactly that issue.
