Lilian Greenwood
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Chancellor set out on 29 July a range of pressures on public spending, including £2.9 billion of unfunded transport specific spending. Following this, the Secretary of State’s Written Ministerial Statement on 30 July set out that the Department is undertaking an internal review of its capital spend portfolio. This will support the development of our new long-term strategy for transport.
The review will consider several projects under the former Restoring Your Railway programme.
Any decisions about the capital spend portfolio will be subject to broader discussions and fiscal decisions made at Budget and Spending Review.
