Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the oral contribution by the Exchequer Secretary of 24 October 2017, Official Report, column 148, what the evidential basis is that Government transport investment is equal across the different regions in England; and if he will publish per capita transport investment for each region in the last three years.

As set out in my oral answer the Government is investing £13bn into the North. The government publishes the 'National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline' showing planned investment in infrastructure, including transport, on a regular basis. The pipeline aims to provide a comprehensive and informative view of infrastructure investment plans and we will continue to develop it with each publication.
