Matt standing at PMQs

This week at Prime Ministers' Questions, Keir Starmer refused to commit to providing the £1 Billion to protect our local transport infrastructure which was guaranteed by the last Government.

Matt Vickers MP said to the Prime Minister:

The last Government invested massively in Teesside, most recently committing £1 Billion to improving transport in our area.

That money will protect our iconic Transporter Bridge, upgrade Thornaby train station, create a new transport hub at Teesside park at Teesside park and much, much more.

Can the Prime Minister confirm are we still getting our £1 Billion, or is Labour turning its back on Teesside?
