answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2020 answer text <p>There has been no state aid provided to Flybe. This Government is committed to levelling up all regions of the UK, and that is why we have announced a review of regional connectivity that will assess how we can maintain key air routes and ensure all nations and regions of the UK have the domestic transport connections local communities rely on – including regional services from local airports. This review, led by the Department for Transport, will consider all options to ensure we continue to have good regional connectivity.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport is already working with Arriva Cross Country to bring much needed extra capacity between the South West and North East as suitable trains become available in the rolling stock market.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 30/01/2020 16:12:07 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
