The Prime Minister
We are building Northern Powerhouse Rail as fast as we can, but the hon. Gentleman will appreciate that that project is not in the state of readiness of the Birmingham to London route.
Edward Timpson (Eddisbury) (Con)
How do we realise more benefits for towns such as Winsford in my constituency by integrating Northern Powerhouse Rail, the conventional rail network and HS2? Can my right hon. Friend confirm that the Cheshire salt mines and the threat of sinkholes will be considered as part of the next review?
The Prime Minister
I can certainly confirm that the threat of sinkholes from the Cheshire salt mines will be considered as part of the review.
