The PM was asked whether he believes 'investment should be taken from poorer areas in the north and given to the more affluent parts of Kent'
The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, was quizzed in the Commons today over the HS2 rail project, with a Greater Manchester MP asking for a 'guarantee' the scheme would reach Manchester.
The current HS2 Bill, meanwhile, sees the rail line emerge from the ground in Ardwick, Manchester, before travelling on a mile-long viaduct of up to 12 metres in height to reach a new surface station. In order to then connect up to Leeds, it will have to turn back on itself and leave Piccadilly on more viaducts across east Manchester towards Yorkshire.
Mr Stringer asked during Prime Minister's Questions today: "Will the PM join his Conservative predecessors in guaranteeing that the HS2 project reaches Manchester or does he still believe that investment should be taken from poorer areas in the north and given to the more affluent parts of Kent."
