§ Mr. SkinnerTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he next expects to meet local authorities in the east midlands to discuss the completion of the Robin Hood line. [24741]
§ Mr. NorrisMy officials are in regular contact with officers of Nottinghamshire county council and partner local authorities about the line. We currently await further information in support of the value for money case for stage 3. I would be happy to meet the local authorities myself if such a meeting would serve a useful purpose but have no current plans to do so.
