Proceeding contribution from Fraser Kemp (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 January 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Ashington, Blyth and Tyne Railway.


Ashington, Blyth and Tyne Railway

In my constituency and that of my hon. Friend the Member for Wansbeck (Mr. Murphy), there are good examples of joined-up thinking in which the Association of North East Councils, Network Rail and the transport authorities have got together to consider feasibility and business cases for the reopening of lines in Wansbeck and Leamside, which is in my constituency. Will the Minister give a commitment that the Department for Transport will co-operate with the studies without taking any pre-determined view, and offer any assistance and guidance that it can?
