Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Jonathan Reynolds and Paul Maynard

Thursday 24th October 2019 Commons Chamber

[Jonathan Reynolds (Stalybridge and Hyde) (Lab/Co-op)]

TransPennine rail services between Leeds and Manchester through Stalybridge and Mossley are clearly vital to this country. The previous Government changed their mind quite a lot on improvements, including on full electrification. What is this Secretary of State’s policy on TransPennine rail upgrades, and will he meet me to hear some sensible suggestions on the way forward?

[Paul Maynard]

I am happy to meet the hon. Gentleman. I am very interested and cannot wait.
