Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Greg Hands and Tania Mathias

Tuesday 1st December 2015 Commons Chamber

[Dr Tania Mathias (Twickenham) (Con)]

T6. Train services from Twickenham are inadequate and need to be faster and more frequent. Will the Chancellor look into what funding he can provide to improve services today, as well as for tomorrow with Crossrail 2?

[The Chief Secretary to the Treasury (Greg Hands)]

I thank my hon. Friend and near neighbour for that question, and Crossrail 2 is also scheduled to go through my constituency. She will know that the Government have already committed money to feasibility studies in this Parliament. The National Infrastructure Commission has been tasked with reviewing further investment in London, and it will report back to the Government before the 2016 Budget.
