Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Jo Stevens and Torsten Bell

Wednesday 11th September 2024 Commons Chamber

[Jo Stevens]

I welcome my hon. Friend to the House and congratulate him on his election.

In my meeting with the Transport Secretary last week, we discussed a range of issues, including connections between Wales and Merseyside. I recognise the importance of cross-border travel for people across the region. The UK and Welsh Governments are committed to strengthening those connections, which are vital to unlocking economic growth and employment opportunities for people and businesses. I know that rail enhancements are required to improve services on the Wrexham to Bidston line, and will work across Government to drive progress.
