Lilian Greenwood, Labour MP for Nottingham South, has been elected Chair of the committee.
On her election as Chair, Lilian Greenwood says: "The Department for Transport needs effective and fairhanded scrutiny.
“In the months and years ahead, I hope the Committee will take a closer look at the transport issues that impact all areas of the UK, rural and urban.
“Decisions on Heathrow, HS3 and Crossrail 2 are now seriously overdue. Cross-border issues in the devolved nations remain unresolved. There are serious doubts over the ability of Highways England and Network Rail to deliver road and rail investment schemes.”
