Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much and what proportion of the HS2 budget will be allocated to transport upgrades in Lancaster and Fleetwood constituency.

The PM has set out that all of the savings from Phase 2 of HS2 will be spent in the North. This includes investing £3.3bn to tackle potholes and extending the bus fare cap until the end of 2024 in England which will help improve transport for users in the region. The new Local Integrated Transport Settlements and future rounds of the Major Road Network programme will provide further opportunities for investment over the coming decade. We continue to invest in the region through our existing programmes, such as the improvements to the A585 between Windy Harbour to Skippool which is due to open in March 2024.
