Teesport (Expansion)
- Answer
-
The forthcoming review of ports policy by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Transport will address the key questions relating to port capacity and future port development, and the wider issues. They include environmental factors, local regeneration, productivity and the role of ports in our overall transport strategy.
- Question
- There remains an output gap of £29 billion between the north and the rest of the UK. The south-east economy is considered to be overheating, so does my hon. Friend agree that the development of a deep-sea container port at Teesport would be an important step towards closing the north-south divide?
