	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

We have also asked a number of train operating companies for proposals to implement DR15 before their contract expires; and will introduce DR15 if the proposals are affordable and represent value for money for taxpayers.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 28/11/2017 16:42:56 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard

It is, therefore, correct that Natural England takes the time necessary to produce a thorough independent review for Government and that the Government takes the time to make a considered response.
