Labour — Newton Aycliffe and Spennymoor

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 June 2025

Debate

Post-industrial Towns

Contribution

My constituency had the Stockton and Darlington railway, which began the passenger railway. Since the election, after years of Tory dither and delay, we are proud to have had £800 million put into a world-class train factory. Does my hon. Friend agree that, with the right investment by an active Labour Government, the industrial areas that powered our past can really power our future?
