Viscount Stansgate (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 January 2026

Debate

Northern Powerhouse Rail

Contribution

My Lords, I am delighted that the right reverend Prelate raised the question she did because, by pure chance, I have a Question on tomorrow’s Order Paper about east coast main line capacity. What impact, when delivered, will the Statement, which I welcome, have on the east coast main line, as well as on the points raised by other Members about capacity from the Midlands to the north and to the west coast?
