Oral Answers to Questions

Jessica Morden Excerpts

Thursday 30th June 2022 Commons Chamber

[Grant Shapps]

Reducing road deaths and injuries is something that I am very passionate about. We are working all the time with National Highways and the local highways authorities. I will certainly make sure that my hon. Friend gets an urgent meeting with the Roads Minister to discuss her specific issues.

[Jessica Morden (Newport East) (Lab)]

T6.   During recent Transport questions, Ministers agreed to meet me and campaigners for Magor rail station, but, like my hon. Friend the Member for Rhondda (Chris Bryant), despite chasing them, we have heard nothing. Please could we have that meeting? It would allow us to urge the UK Government to work with the Welsh Government to deliver financial investment for cross-border rail, which the Burns review, the Union connectivity review and the western gateway partnership deem essential.

[Wendy Morton]

I assure the hon. Lady that my office has been endeavouring to set up that meeting. I will chase them and make sure that it happens.
