Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Government has employed (a) consultants and (b) engineers to work on the project related to the construction of a bridge between Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The government is committed to upgrading our infrastructure, and officials are looking at a range of options to level up the country and support growth and productivity in every region.

We will set out more details on our plans to increase investment in infrastructure later this year.
