Labour — Swindon South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 November 2025

Debate

Transport Infrastructure Upgrades

Contribution

I have said to the right hon. Gentleman before that we are exploring private finance options to deliver the lower Thames crossing, having granted planning consent through a development consent order earlier this year. Enabling works, including utility works, could begin next year, before 2027, and the crossing should be open for use by vehicles in the mid-2030s.
