East West Rail Line
(asked on 16th July 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, on what date the decision was taken to re-classify East-West Rail as an England and Wales project.
This question was answered on 24th July 2025
As rail infrastructure projects have not been devolved to Wales the categorisation of these projects is in line with wider devolution policy managed by Treasury.
Every Government funded rail project in Wales or England are always categorised as England and Wales investment projects.
The categorising of East West Rail as an England and Wales project does not mean that Wales is disadvantaged in any way.
