Local Growth Deals

Debate between Greg Clark and Peter Luff

Monday 7th July 2014 Commons Chamber

[Sir Peter Luff (Mid Worcestershire) (Con)]

One of the biggest constraints on the economic growth of Worcestershire is the inadequacy of its rail links. I therefore thank the Minister warmly for his announcement of funding for the new Worcestershire Parkway station, which enables me to declare victory in the 25-year campaign to get that vital station built.

[Greg Clark]

I am very grateful to my hon. Friend. I am just sorry that he will not be able to use it for his commute to this place. However, it will be a good monument to his campaigning over the years.
