High Speed 2 Line: Manchester Metrolink
Asked by: Gavin Williamson (Conservative - South Staffordshire) Monday 22nd April 2024 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the estimated cost is of the proposed Manchester Metrolink infrastructure in the High Speed Rail (Crewe - Manchester) Bill. Answered by Huw Merriman - Minister of State (Department for Transport) The government is seeking to adapt the High Speed Rail (Crewe-Manchester) Bill to deliver Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) only, removing scope south of the Parish of Millington and Rostherne, which was included only for HS2. A motion to formalise the point of truncation will be brought to the House and a supplementary environmental statement will be produced.
As set out in the Network North Command paper, up to £12 billion in 2023 prices has been retained to deliver NPR scope between Manchester and the Parish of Millington and Rostherne. The funding has not been disagregated further. |

Manchester Metrolink: Stockport
Asked by: Navendu Mishra (Labour - Stockport) Monday 11th December 2023 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has had discussions with the Mayor of Greater Manchester on the proposed Metrolink tram extension to Stockport. Answered by Guy Opperman - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The Mayor has met with Ministers on several occasions this year to discuss various transport issues.
The Department is in regular discussions with Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) regarding the region’s City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) programme. CRSTS includes funding for transformative local transport projects which Mayoral Combined Authorities can use to deliver Mass Transit schemes based on their own local priorities.
Indicative funding allocations have been published for the second round of the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS) which covers the period 2027/28 to 2031/32. Greater Manchester Combined Authority’s Settlement is worth £2.47 billion which includes a Network North uplift of £928 million. GMCA could choose to use this funding to deliver Mass Transit connectivity to Stockport.

Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980 (Automatic Online Conviction and Standard Statutory Penalty) (Specification of Offences and Penalties) Regulations 2024 These Regulations specify the offences which may be dealt with by use of the automatic online conviction process set out in sections 16G to 16M of the Magistrates’ Court Act 1980. This process uses an automatic procedure and allows a guilty plea in a summary only conviction (where there is no custodial option), to be dealt with online without the need for attendance at court. It is intended to simplify the process for suitable cases. A defendant may decline the offer of an automatic online conviction in which case the proceedings will be dealt with by a single magistrate under the Single Justice Procedure or by an attendance at court. The court retains the power to set aside a conviction if it considers it to be unjust.
