Gregory Stafford (Farnham and Bordon) (Con)
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. The leader of Surrey county council wrote to the Department for Transport on 27 March with serious concerns about the future funding arrangements for the A31 corridor scheme in my constituency. Despite my writing twice to the Secretary of State for Transport, and despite being told in response to a written parliamentary question on 18 May that the Government would respond as soon as possible, nearly four months later neither I nor Surrey county council have had a response. Can you therefore advise me, Madam Deputy Speaker, what further avenues are available to me to secure a substantive response from that Department, so that my constituents, Surrey county council and all those affected by this scheme can finally receive the clarity they have been waiting for?
Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)
I thank the hon. Member for his point of order. It is of the utmost importance that Ministers provide timely responses to Members. Those on the Government Front Bench will have heard his concerns, which I hope will be passed on to the relevant Minister. The hon. Member may also wish to raise them with the Leader of the House, who I know takes these matters very seriously, at business questions tomorrow.
