Context
The Member of Parliament asks about the steps being taken to decarbonise transportation, specifically enquiring about advancing a proposed light rail project.
Question
What steps is his Department taking to decarbonise the transport sector? Will he please do all he can to bring forward the very light rail scheme in Dudley so that we can benefit not just from the environmental impact but also the economic benefits as we bounce back from covid-19?
Answer from The Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps
We are creating a transport decarbonisation plan, to be published by the end of the year, setting out a bold and ambitious pathway for the decarbonisation of transport. I am aware of my hon Friend's enthusiasm and support for the very light rail scheme in Dudley, and we are keen to support it. It is important to get Dudley Council working with the West Midlands Combined Authority and the local enterprise partnership. We very much look forward to receiving the detailed business case.
