Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Chris Bryant and Andrew Jones

Thursday 12th January 2017 Commons Chamber

[Chris Bryant (Rhondda) (Lab)]

The Government could do something about the cross-border position between the Rhondda valley and the upper Afan valley because they still own the tunnel that was used by the train from Treherbert down to Swansea. Will the Government please make sure that I can have the meeting with the Secretary of State for which I have been asking for several weeks to come up with innovative ideas so that this can become a major new cycle track?

[Andrew Jones]

I am afraid that my local knowledge of those tunnels has not kept pace with the hon. Gentleman’s. All I can say is that I have heard his point and will take it forward with my colleagues.
