Oral Answers to Questions

Jeremy Hunt Excerpts

Thursday 20th November 2025 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

If you have already asked a question, I would not bother trying to catch my eye, unless you are exercising your knees.

[Sir Jeremy Hunt (Godalming and Ash) (Con)]

My constituents in Cranleigh, Shamley Green, Bramley and Shalford find it very difficult to get to their local hospital in Guildford, and to the community hospital in Milford. There is no direct bus service. A quarter of older people do not have cars. What will the Government do to help them solve that problem, which is becoming more and more difficult?

[Simon Lightwood]

That is why we brought forward the Bus Services Act 2025, which gives local leaders the tools that they need to shape bus services around needs in their community.

Jeremy Hunt Excerpts

Thursday 15th May 2025 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

I call Sir Jeremy Hunt.

[Sir Jeremy Hunt (Godalming and Ash) (Con)]

Thank you for squeezing me in, Mr Speaker.

Is the Secretary of State aware that to access the platform at Ash Vale station in my constituency, people have to go up multiple flights of steps, equivalent to two or three floors, making it all but impossible for many older people and disabled people to use the rail network? Before she decides on how to allocate funding under the Access for All scheme in the spending review, will she or one of her Ministers visit Ash Vale, where we promise her a warm Surrey welcome?

[Mr Speaker]

That doesn’t always work.
