Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has (a) had discussions with and (b) received correspondence from Hertfordshire County Council on changes to rail freight capacity requirements in Hertfordshire since 2014 in the last (a) 12 and (b) 36 months.

I can confirm that letters have been received regarding a strategic rail freight interchange at Radlett from Rt Hon Oliver Dowden MP in June 2020 and from Anne Main MP in July 2020. There have been no recent direct discussions with, or correspondence received from, Hertfordshire County Council in relation to changes to rail freight capacity requirements.
