Sir Edward Leigh

Conservative — Gainsborough

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 February 2026

Debate

Rail Transport and Economic Growth

Contribution

We were very encouraged. There is nothing party political about this; it is all about economic growth in an area that really needs it. I beg the Secretary of State; she just has to lift her finger and get our train. We have had a test run; it can happen now. Will she please do it?
