	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2019 answer text <p>The Government is investing over £13 billion in transport in the North between 2015 and 2020 as part of the Northern Powerhouse strategy. This comprises a range of transport improvements including major investments in the Strategic Road Network (SRN), such as the introduction of Smart Motorways, as well as major schemes on the local road network, significant investment in new rolling stock and the rail network and numerous smaller schemes funded through the Local Growth Fund and the Department’s Highways Maintenance and Integrated Transport block funding. The investment has been allocated through funding mechanisms such as the Roads Investment Strategy, rail investment programmes for Control Period 6, and block funding allocations. It is not possible to provide annual profiles as some funding is allocated on a scheme basis rather than by year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 10/06/2019 11:50:49 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
