Tan Dhesi: ...new ministerial team to their place. To address the failure of privatisation and fragmentation, just last year the Secretary of State’s predecessor, the right hon. Member for Welwyn Hatfield (Grant Shapps), announced the launch of Great British Railways. There were promotional videos with Michael Portillo and a nationwide campaign to host the new headquarters, with towns and cities...

Damian Green: ...best evidence of the latter was one of those Privy Council meetings that takes place when a new member is appointed—I am happy to report to my right hon. Friend the Member for Welwyn Hatfield (Grant Shapps) that it was not his—and involves a lot of kneeling, moving, kneeling again, holding a Bible, kissing and talking. Politicians are good at words, but many of them are not very good...
Robert Courts: ...does not hold a consolidated record of scheduled or chartered domestic flights taken by ministers. From records currently available and in the time available, the former Secretary of State, Grant Shapps, had taken at least one commercial domestic flight since his appointment.
Lord Blencathra: ...that works well is disabled assistance, the “cripple buggy” and the people in Penrith who help me out. That works remarkably well. So, now that my right honourable friend the incompetent Mr Grant Shapps has gone, will she ask my right honourable friend Anne-Marie Trevelyan to remove this franchise immediately and give it back to Virgin, which ran a ruddy good railway line?
Navendu Mishra: I am grateful to you, Mr Speaker, for granting this urgent question. It is disappointing that the Secretary of State is not here, as this issue impacts millions of people in our constituencies. Many of us saw the chaos at Manchester Piccadilly, London Euston and several other stations over the summer as Avanti West Coast slashed its timetables and suspended ticket sales at short notice,...
Neil Bibby: ...people in Manchester have seen the introduction of a capped single bus fare of £2, which will make a real difference to working people there. Even the former Tory Secretary of State for Transport, Grant Shapps, subsequently announced a roll-out of such a fare across England. Where is the same leadership in Scotland to tackle the broken bus market? In the city of Glasgow, which the First...
David Linden: ...trade unions should not be seen as the enemy, but the UK Government constantly see trade unions as some sort of opportunity to play political football. The right hon. Member for Welwyn Hatfield (Grant Shapps) was revelling in every single moment of his dispute with the RMT just recently. He saw it as an opportunity to advance his career—by all accounts, that will probably not do him...
Grant Shapps: ...London a new settlement until 31 March 2024 or until Transport for London reaches financial sustainability, whichever is the sooner. This longer-term settlement includes over £1.1bn of additional grant funding until March 2024 for London transport, which will unlock almost £3.6bn worth of critical infrastructure investment, with a number of projects set to revolutionise travel across the...
Grant Shapps: ...but which would now be threatening the provision of services at a time when the public need bus services more than ever. With nearly £2bn provided so far, through the Covid-19 Bus Service Support Grant, the Bus Recovery Grant and most recently the Local Transport Fund, we have mitigated the impacts of the pandemic on bus networks. This meant that buses were kept running over the course of...
Sadiq Khan: ...for a fraction of that contribution to keep London’s transport running to support London’s recovery and the UK economy. We have made this case again and again to Ministers but [the Rt Hon] Grant Shapps [MP, Secretary of State for Transport] will still not meet with me, despite saying he wants to reset our relationship. Without a longâterm deal, TfL will be forced into a managed...

Grant Shapps: Today I am launching the ‘Jet Zero Strategy’ – setting out this Government’s approach for achieving net zero aviation by 2050. It builds on the Government’s Net Zero Strategy, as well as the Transport Decarbonisation Plan which outlines the commitments and actions needed to decarbonise the entire transport system. The Jet Zero Strategy sets a trajectory for the sector to reach...
Grant Shapps: Today 19 July 2022, the Government has made available £959 million of additional funding to continue to progress the delivery of the ambitious Transpennine Route Upgrade . This funding is a significant milestone and another step towards upgrading the key East-West rail artery across the North of England, to further this government’s levelling up and decarbonisation objectives. In addition...
Grant Shapps: ...for all. I have therefore today laid a departmental minute describing a new contingent liability that the Department for Transport plans to undertake in respect of future launch operator licences granted under the 2018 Act. The liability arises from a combination of the UK being a party to the United Nations Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects 1972,...
