Questions to the Department for Transport - 30th January 2020
Suzanne Webb:
Owing to the hard work of Andy Street and this Government, work is well under way to bring the West Midlands Metro line to the Black Country. How can the Government further help to extend that line to the jewel in the crown of the urban West Midlands, which so happens to be my constituency?
Chris Heaton-Harris (Minister):
I thank my hon. Friend for her question. She is obviously going to be a doughty campaigner for Stourbridge. This Government have worked to make sure that progress continues. We have devolved £321.5 million to the excellent Mayor, Andy Street, in the West Midlands Combined Authority, as part of the £2.5 billion transforming cities fund, of which £207 million has been allocated to fund this extension.
