I am happy to join my hon. Friend in telling Staffordshire county council—which I hear a lot of complaints about in business questions, I have to say—to get its act together and get this new GP surgery open so it can serve his constituents.
Helen Morgan (North Shropshire) (LD)
The people of Whitchurch in my constituency will be quite pleased to see the response to my written question regarding the Access for All railway fund, which shows that £280 million has been allocated for the spending review period, but they will be really keen to know when we are getting step-free access at Whitchurch station. May we have a statement from the Secretary of State for Transport to outline how this money will be spent and, critically, where and when? If the Leader of the House would like to come to Whitchurch from her own constituency, she could experience the footbridge and lack of step-free access herself.

I thank the hon. Member for raising the issue of step-free access at her local station—this issue is raised with me all the time at business questions. I am sure that a debate on the topic would be very well subscribed, if she wanted one, but I will ensure that she gets a ministerial response. I am pleased to hear about her written question.
