§ Mr. McMasterTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he next plans to meet the appropriate officials of the relevant authorities to discuss making Paisley Gilmour Street railway station accessible to disabled people, including wheelchair users; and if he will make a statement.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonPaisley Gilmour Street railway station is owned by Railtrack and operated by the Strathclyde passenger transport executive. I have no plans, at present, to meet officials of either body. However, I understand that Railtrack has a scheme under consideration to refurbish the station, which will include the provision of lifts to the platforms and for the building of a subway to Sneddon street.
