Labour — Dartford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 30 October 2025

Debate

Business of the House

Contribution

I warmly welcome the news today from the Office of Rail and Road that competition can start on international rail lines to the continent, and I thank the Government for their strong support for that. Does the Leader of the House agree that it is vital that the new operator, Virgin, commits to restoring rail services to Kent and to trains stopping at Ebbsfleet and Ashford stations? Will he commit to having a debate on this matter?
