Graham Stuart

Conservative — Beverley and Holderness

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 March 2025

Debate

Economic Growth: New Transport Infrastructure

Contribution

The great university cities of York and Hull are unusual in that they do not have a direct rail line between them. The whole region—Labour MPs, Liberal Democrat councillors, Conservatives—is united in believing that reopening the Beverley to York line, so that the two great minsters of Hull and York can be reconnected, would bring economic growth and a brighter future for the area. Will the Minister agree to meet me and colleagues to discuss this project and how it could help unlock the growth that we all seek across the House?
