Diana Johnson MP

29/10/15, 00:00

Hull North MP Diana Johnson today used Commons Transport Questions to again press Ministers about the lack of progress on the electrification of the Selby to Hull rail line.


Diana Johnson MP asked the Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin: "The Secretary of State earlier in an answer referred to linking up the great cities of the North, but again did not refer to Hull.


"So, now we've had the pausing and the unpausing of the electrification of the several routes, when will the Secretary of State give the green light to the privately financed initiative to electrify the line all the way to Hull?"


The question, which took place at 10.31am today, can be viewed at http://goo.gl/wHrLsm.
