Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Chris Heaton-Harris and Mick Whitley

Thursday 29th April 2021 Commons Chamber

[Chris Heaton-Harris]

I thank the hon. Gentleman for his question and his interest in this. This Government are spending hundreds of millions of pounds on improving our network and continue to do so. Indeed, I met the chief executive of Network Rail yesterday to talk about how we can speed up the delivery of elements of our accessibility programme. I read the Leonard Cheshire report on this, and it was interesting, but I tend to think that it has underestimated the figures involved in improving our network to the level that it should be at by now.

[Mick Whitley (Birkenhead) (Lab)]
