	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2018 answer text <p>Access for All is already due to provide an accessible route into the station and to and between all platforms, including access to one of the car parks. As only around a fifth of UK stations have proper step free access we intend to target the new tranche of funding at stations that disabled passengers are unable to use, ensuring that Access for All will benefit the maximum number of people across the country. Additional scope at existing projects, such as an extra ramp, would therefore need to have third party funding.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 26/11/2018 16:58:11 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
