	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/12/2021 answer text <p>By improving regional connectivity, the Integrated Rail Plan will unify labour markets, so that people can access a much wider range of jobs; bring businesses closer together; and improve access to key international gateways and markets so they become even more attractive locations for business investment. Electrification of the Midland Mainline along with HS2 East will deliver the same journey time improvements between Sheffield and London as the previously planned HS2 Eastern leg and will cut the journey from Sheffield to Birmingham by 13 minutes. In addition, completing upgrades to the Hope Valley Line could bring improved provision for rail freight in the longer term.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 02/12/2021 09:27:02 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
