George was part of a group of Norfolk MPs that recently met with Theresa Villiers, the Minister of State responsible for rail in the Department of Transport.

The group highlighted to the Minister the importance of investing in rail links between Norwich, London and Cambridge as a way of unlocking economic opportunities in Norfolk.

Commenting on the meeting George said “we need to keep pushing the case that Norfolk could lead the world in many industries, but we are currently crippled by poor infrastructure.

“Investing in broadband, road and rail links here would unlock our region’s potential and in turn, boost the national economy.”

During the recess, George also met with representatives of National Express in Norwich to raise concerns that have been highlighted by constituents regarding local services. They also discussed the importance of fuel prices to bus companies.

George also recently met with RMI Petrol Association to hear about the challenges facing a family garage business when competing with larger national service chains.
