Transport Select Committee: Policies and Priorities of the Secretary of State for Transport

""

This was a one-off oral evidence with the Secretary of State for Transport, Chris Grayling MP.

I asked about the out of court settlement with Euro tunnel for no deal Brexit ferry provision and on whether that was the right decision.

I also asked why Highways England seem to get away with running over budget and if there is a more effective model that could be used to prevent this from continuing to happen.

Later, I enquired his reflection on the Southern Rail dispute and whether more needs to be done to limit damaging strikes.

Finally, I asked if he had enjoyed his role as Secretary of State for Transport so far and if he had any advice for a potential successor.

High Speed Rail to London

I am working with local Conservative MPs and Councillors and the rail authorities to deliver direct trains from Bexhill to London (via Ashford). A fleet of new trains will deliver a journey time of just 78 minutes.  I will work with our partners to deliver the business case and lobby to turn this into reality. The impact on our community, from increased investment, jobs and tourists, would be vast and would link us to our capital and beyond.

Local Rail Services

As a regular commuter myself, I am all too aware of the problems constituents face on our local trains and the importance of a reliable rail service for those who travel to work by train.

High hopes for dates to end lockdown

This week saw the creation of a series of lockdown calendars. A countdown to 8 March for all pupils to get back to the classroom; 29 March to sit in your neighbour’s garden; 12 April to get a haircut (very welcome); 17 May to have a pint inside a pub.
