answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2017 answer text <p>We will consider future investment options under a new process for rail enhancements, which we will set out early in the New Year. The new process will focus our rail investments on delivering outcomes for rail users, and will require sufficiently strong business cases to be provided at each stage of development before investment. As the railway lines suggested would serve local markets and the local economy, we would expect these business cases to be promoted, funded and developed locally. Guidance on developing business cases is published by HM Treasury in “The Green Book; Appraisal and Evaluation in Central Government.”</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 12/12/2017 14:07:58 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
