- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he will take to ensure the Integrated Rail Plan ensures equality of economic effects to Yorkshire and the North East.
- Answer
-
The Integrated Rail Plan (IRP) sets out how Yorkshire and the North East will benefit from improved rail services including reduced journey times, increased frequency, and increased capacity. By improving regional connectivity, the IRP will unify labour markets, so that people can access a much wider range of jobs; bring businesses closer together; and improve access to key international gateways and markets so they become even more attractive locations for business investment.
