Port of Liverpool: Railways

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Written Ministerial Statement of 9 March 2023 on Transport Update, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of establishing rail access to the Port of Liverpool as an alternative to the deferred road through Rimrose Valley in the Borough of Sefton.
