The Prime Minister
I am certainly happy to look at the proposals if the hon. Lady wishes to bring them forward to the House.
Kevin Hollinrake (Thirsk and Malton) (Con)
Does the Prime Minister agree that we need to increase capacity on our railways in and between the north, the midlands, the south and Scotland, and that unless we want decades of disruption, the only way to do this is through Midlands Engine Rail, Northern Powerhouse Rail, and HS2?
The Prime Minister
I can tell my hon. Friend that we are not only building Northern Powerhouse Rail and investing in the midlands rail hub but, as he knows, we are looking into whether and how to proceed with HS2, and the House can expect an announcement very shortly.
