Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 January 2025

Debate

Railway Services: South-West

Contribution

I commend the hon. Gentleman for securing the debate. He is right to highlight the contact between the south-west and London in particular. It is disappointing that, even in London, almost two thirds of tube and other stations have no access for disabled people. If the Government are going to make improvements to railway movement for passengers, then accessibility for disabled people—and access to work for them—is key to that moving forward.
