Transport
Context

Bell highlights the town's size and road congestion issues.

Question

What steps is his Department taking to improve bus services in Newcastle-under-Lyme constituency, one of the largest towns without a train station? Does Bell agree that this area should be prioritized for Superbus funding?

Answer from Nusrat Ghani (Minister of State for Transport)

My hon. Friend has made a stellar pitch for the new Superbus fund both today and previously in a Westminster Hall debate. It would be remiss of me to say anything at the moment. All proposals are being assessed, and I assure him that the announcement will be made very soon.
