Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Paul Maynard and Holly Lynch

Thursday 19th October 2017 Commons Chamber

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport (Paul Maynard)]

I was more than happy to meet a cross-party delegation of Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire MPs this week to discuss this very issue. We have located the information that my hon. Friend desires, and I will place it in the Library and write to him.

[Holly Lynch (Halifax) (Lab)]

T8. If High Speed 3 connected Leeds and Manchester via the Calder Valley line, that would be an absolute game changer for my part of the world. Given that the Secretary of State was keen to spend time in my constituency during the general election campaign talking about how important rail was to the area, will he update the House on whether and when that connection could become a reality?
