Please see response from my MP on your very erudite post after I sent a copy to him for comment.


Regards
Mr Mac






Thank you for your email. I really appreciate your calculations and insight into potential options for airport expansion in the South East. That information will be invaluable when the Transport Committee, which I sit on, return to this subject later this year.





For 5 years I have been banging the drum for infrastructure investment in Yorkshire and I’m a keen advocate for HS2 and HS3. You rightly identify the Northern Hub. Electrification of the Trans Pennine Route, the managed Motorway schemes on the M1 and M62 and the Billion Pound Growth Deal for the Leeds City Region (Kirklees is part of this) are also major steps in the right direction.





The Prime Minister will be giving a major speech later this week on investment in Yorkshire – so watch this space.





Thanks again for you input.





Kind regards,





Jason
