The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of reopening Baschurch railway station on the economy.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

In light of the current spending review, it is vital that government spending is focused on the Prime Minister’s Plan for Change, and that every pound of taxpayers’ money represents value for money. Therefore, new projects must be carefully considered. I would encourage my honourable member to work with your Local Transport Authority, Shropshire Council, to develop a case for this proposal should it represent a local transport priority.
