Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department will take to work with Transport East to ensure the timely and effective delivery of the recently launched regional Transport Strategy.

Transport East has worked closely with Department for Transport officials to develop their transport strategy, turning national priorities into actionable plans reflecting the needs of the region. The Department expects the transport strategy to be the evidence base Transport East will draw on to advise the Government on investment priorities in the East and to deliver on Government objectives on decarbonisation and levelling up.
