Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lilian Greenwood and Siân Berry

Thursday 10th October 2024 Commons Chamber

[Lilian Greenwood]

I thank my hon. Friend for raising the important issue of accessibility. We are carefully considering the best approach to the Access for All programme. I am afraid that we are not yet able to comment on next steps regarding projects at specific stations; however, ensuring that the rail network is accessible to absolutely everyone is at the heart of our passenger-focused approach, and I will speak to him about it further.
