Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with governments around the world regarding sustainable construction for large scale railway projects; and how these discussions will inform future infrastructure.

The Department regularly engages with foreign governments to identify areas for future trade and growth, closer collaboration and knowledge sharing on large infrastructure projects, and to identify opportunities to promote the UK rail supply chain.

Using international engagement as a key driver for growth, the Department also ensures that its priorities are reflected in discussions with other governments. These include decarbonisation, pursuing trade opportunities, promoting British business and knowledge sharing.
