Today the Prime Minster has set out his vision to level up transport connectivity across our United Kingdom so that we can better connect and strengthen our nation as we build back better.
• We are committed to the deepest possible integration of the four nations of the United Kingdom, so that businesses and individuals have the infrastructure they need to trade, travel and do businesses across the whole country.
• That is why we are exploring the creation of a UK Strategic Transport Network, backed by an initial £20 million, that will enhance connections between the nations of the United Kingdom across road, rail, sea and air, reducing bottlenecks and boosting growth, and will consult on reforming Air Passenger Duty to boost domestic connections
