Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the timescale for the publication of the Regional Strategic Transport Network Transport Plan.

Answer:

My officials are currently in the process of preparing a new suite of Transport Plans intended to set out the framework for transport policy and investment decisions up until 2035. The Regional Strategic Transport Network Transport Plan (RSTNTP) is the first Transport Plan in line for completion. It is concerned with strategic roads, the buses which run on them and the rail network.

I expect to publish a draft RSTNTP for public consultation when all work has been completed on it, and I have had an opportunity to fully consider it.
