Q1 Kevin Hollinrake Con Thirsk and Malton
Context

Hollinrake asks about the commitment to invest across northern England.

Question

Some of us do not have those hair problems, Mr Speaker. Will the Minister confirm his commitment to investment right across the north—not just the big projects, such as northern powerhouse rail, from the east coast through the west coast, but the smaller but no less important projects, such as the dualling of the A64 in my constituency?

Answer from Andrew Stephenson (Minister of State for Transport)

I am happy to provide my hon. Friend with that reassurance. The integrated rail plan is looking at various transport investments in the north, and we very much intend that still to report by the end of this year. On the dualling of the A64, I can assure him that that is now officially in the road investment strategy 3 pipeline, and it will be investigated carefully as we prepare to make decisions for the next strategy.
