Rishi Sunak
I thank the hon. Lady for raising that important point. I would be very happy to make sure that it is considered as part of the spending review.
Martin Vickers (Cleethorpes) (Con)
The Chancellor referred earlier to the record amounts being invested in the rail network. May I urge him to ensure that one of the projects that he supports is an east-west freight corridor linking the Humber ports to the west coast? That would greatly maximise the benefits of freeport status; it would also aid the levelling-up agenda.
