CBI responds to Union Connectivity Review

CBI recently (26 November 2021) responded to Union Connectivity Review.

Matthew Fell, CBI Chief Policy Director, recently said:

“Better transport connectivity between the four nations is crucial to create a more joined up and prosperous UK.

“The landmark Union Connectivity Review has made some important recommendations which will help deliver a modern, integrated transport network. The creation of UKNET, offering strategic oversight to the whole transport network, along with multi-modal corridors and efforts to turn the UK into a sustainable aviation fuel powerhouse, will be particularly welcomed by business.

“Strong collaboration between the UK and devolved governments will be vital to making this vision a reality.”
