Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to help ensure that the transport system supports economic growth.

Growth is the priority Mission of this government. Transport provides the connectivity needed to achieve it.

We are improving connectivity through infrastructure programmes such as HS2, East West Rail, and the Transpennine Route Upgrade.

We are empowering leaders, improving bus services, and better integrating networks to improve access to opportunities.
