Proceeding contribution from Ruth Kelly (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Sustainable Railways.

Sustainable Railways

I have had the opportunity to visit Derby station and the right hon. Gentleman makes his case with passion. Today’s White Paper commits the Government to £150 million for 150 medium-sized stations. There is also other funding available for stations that do not qualify as the top 150 priorities. It is for Network Rail, together with the train operating companies, to decide what the priorities are and I am sure that he will continue to make his case to them.
