Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of providing funding for new railway stations that offer a direct route to London in Surrey Heath constituency.

The Government believes that local leaders are best placed to prioritise and take forward regeneration projects which are most appropriate for the areas they serve, particularly where they will support economic growth, job creation, more and better housing. I would encourage you to engage further with local planning teams and local stakeholders to make the case for funding new railway stations in the Surrey Heath constituency.
