The Rail Minister Claire Perry today failed to confirm funding for a crucial report into rail improvements in the South West - despite being asked for the third time in a week.

Oliver Colvile, the Plymouth MP who chairs the All Party Parliamentary Group for South West Rail said “she certainly hadn’t ruled it out” and he was hopeful the money would be committed by the end of the week.

The report from the South West Peninsula Rail Task Force was commissioned by the Prime Minister after the line at Dawlish was washed intothe sea two years ago.
