Context
In March, the government approved National Highways' planning application for the lower Thames crossing, ending a long period of inaction by previous governments.
What recent progress her Department has made on constructing the lower Thames crossing. I welcome that response, the certainty the decision has provided to people living in the Thames estuary, and the visit yesterday to supply-chain businesses by our right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. Will the Secretary of State for Transport confirm that she will meet me and a delegation of Kent and south-east London MPs to discuss how we can ensure that investment and skills are secured for local supply chains and the development of further education colleges?
I would be very happy to have that meeting with my hon. Friend and his colleagues.
