Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what role they have in the decision making process for determining which of the proposed routes for the new Oxford to Cambridge Arc railway line should be the final route; and whether they will have a role in determining if the final route will pass through the Wimpole Hall Estate.

The decision will be made by Secretary of State for Transport. It will then be subject to the usual cross-government clearance processes.
