Andrew Stephenson corrected the Commons record on Transport for the North

25 November 2021 · Commons Hansard, Written Corrections · Transport

The words were spoken in the Commons on 24 November 2021. The correction was made by letter from the Minister of State, Department for Transport, the hon. Member for Pendle (Andrew Stephenson), and printed in Hansard's Written Corrections on 25 November 2021. The corrected text no longer gives the figure £18 billion. Altogether 59 words differ between the two versions.

The question

Following the Minister’s words about Bradford, the whole city of Bradford and my constituents are angry. Some 530,000 people have been failed. Although I welcome the question of the hon. Member for Thirsk and Malton (Kevin Hollinrake) to focus on Bradford, the truth is that the Government have stripped it of £30 billion of growth in the next 10 years. It is the fourth-youngest city in the country. I also hear on the grapevine that the Government have held on to the IPOSs for Leeds because there might be a U-turn. My question is simple: when will he U-turn on the NPR?
