As such, central government does not review individual decisions.</p><p> </p><p>The WNO will still receive £4 million per year during the 2023-2026 Investment Programme.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2023 answer text <p>The Office of the Secretary of State for Wales regularly engages with the Welsh Government on a wide range of transport matters.</p><p> </p><p>The Welsh Government’s continued opposition to the M4 Relief Road is holding the Welsh economy back, which is of great disappointment and only serves to project that Wales is closed for business. In rejecting the case for the M4 Relief Road, the Welsh Government are going against the findings of their own £150 million report, which recommended that the M4 Relief Road be built. The UK Government urges the Welsh Government to reconsider the impact of their roads policy on the long-term prosperity of Wales.</p><p> </p><p>While decisions around the M4 in Wales remain a devolved matter, the UK Government is committed to playing its part in delivering better connectivity in reserved areas – including funding a study to develop options for new stations and services on the South Wales Main Line.</p> answering member printed Lord Davies of Gower question first answered 25/07/2023 13:09:13 answering member 4499 label Biography information for Lord Davies of Gower
