Labour — Lichfield

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 January 2026

Debate

Transport Connectivity: Midlands and North Wales

Contribution

It is a pleasure to take part in this debate with you in the Chair, Ms Furniss. I thank those who have already spoken. I am here to talk about rail. I would love to talk about buses, but I do not think I will have time. Specifically, I would like to address the midlands rail hub, which the right hon. Member for Aldridge-Brownhills (Wendy Morton) has already spoken about. The project was conceived under the previous Conservative Government, and I do not shy away from that. Unfortunately, it then sat on a shelf gathering dust, and there was no real movement on it until after the election, when this Labour Government came in.
