Labour — Bassetlaw

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 January 2026

Debate

Northern Powerhouse Rail

Contribution

Reform’s betrayal of the north must never be forgotten. For this to work, we need our council leaders and mayors to play their part. For constituencies such as Bassetlaw, Bolsover, North East Derbyshire and Chesterfield, our East Midlands Mayor must be part of the dialogue on the investment strategy for transport planning and connectivity. We all want to open our doors to businesses on the back of this, so will the Secretary of State ensure that Mayor Claire Ward has a place at the table?
