This morning in Parliament, Richard questioned the Rail Minister about the environmental impact of East West Rail.

Richard Fuller, the Member of Parliament for North East Bedfordshire, said:

Many of my constituents are baffled that this 21st-century project will use a 19th-century fuel so I asked the Rail Minister would look again at the environmental considerations that East West Rail has undertaken.
