Dr Luke Evans

Conservative — Hinckley and Bosworth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 September 2024

Debate

Hinckley National Rail Freight Interchange

Contribution

I, too, have constituents who are grossly concerned about this matter. Although it is, I say cautiously, good news that the decision has been delayed, part of what the Secretary of State seems to be saying is that the impact locally outweighs the benefit to the nation. That is what I myself and all the organisations and local people involved have been saying. Therefore, the question remains as to why a delay will change that position. Does my hon. Friend have any thoughts as to what the reason might be, and on what we can do to get an answer before the end of March?
