Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress his Department has made on implementing the recommendations of the Leeds Bradford International Airport connectivity study, published in November 2014.

The Leeds Bradford International Airport Connectivity Study set out the potential benefit of a new link road and recommended further consideration of the opportunity for a rail link to be provided in the longer term. The Chancellor set out the Government’s response to the study in the Autumn Statement, in which he encouraged the West Yorkshire Combined Authority to consider how to take the recommendations forward.
