PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(16 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what discussions he has had with the Scottish Government on improving (a) rail and (b) bus routes in Paisley and Renfrewshire North constituency.

Asked by:
Alison Taylor (Labour)

Answer

I have regular meetings with the Deputy First Minister, where we discuss local economic growth as one of the key missions of this Government. Our two Governments effectively work together to deliver the Glasgow City Region Growth deal, which provides £1 billion of infrastructure funding to the region to deliver local priorities.

The planning of local and national rail and bus routes in Scotland is a devolved matter, however, and therefore the responsibility of the Scottish Government in partnership with local authorities.
