Liberal Democrat — Hazel Grove

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 May 2025

Debate

Stockport Railway Station

Contribution

The Minister is talking about the assessment of various options. We know that the Treasury is looking at reviewing the contents of the Green Book that measures the benefits and disbenefits of any capital spending. Can he say a few words on how we can ensure that the north, particularly the Stockport area, gets its fair share of capital spending in the future to ensure that existing inequality is not baked into the calculations that the Treasury makes?
