The right hon. Member makes a very good point on behalf of Doncaster. We are certainly looking at the plan that he mentions.

The Prime Minister knows how bitterly disappointed my constituents in Staffordshire will be about the decision. May I simply ask him, when he is considering the question of review, to include phase 2a from Birmingham to Crewe—and the rest of that part of the constituency, which is going to be so badly affected? We need a proper link with Handsacre to ensure that Stoke and Stafford are properly serviced. Does he understand that, and will he do everything to ensure that we are kept in the review?

Absolutely; on Handsacre, my hon. Friend has my full support.
