The Bishop of Leeds asked a question on improvements to transportation infrastructure in the north-east of England on 14th December 2021, during a debate on the effects of new COVID-19 restrictions on the arts and entertainment sector:
The Lord Bishop of Leeds: My Lords, does the Minister agree that the cultural venue future for the north of England would be considerably enhanced if communications were improved—that is, if you could actually get to venues in the first place? What weight are he and his department giving to discussions about northern rail and other transport infrastructure?
Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay (Con): The right reverend Prelate makes an important point. We want to ensure that people have access to entertainment, arts and culture wherever they live and however they get there. We work with the Department for Transport, local authorities and metro mayors to deliver that.
