Aylesbury's MP is continuing his bid for funding for a new rail connection for the town tonight.

Rob Butler's leading a debate at the end of play in the House of Commons, calling for the East West Rail Aylesbury spur to be confirmed.

The government still hasn't announced it's officially funding it.

Last month, we reporter how Rob Butler had said the town's infrastructure was at breaking point and that East West Rail would help to alleviate that.

The adjournment debate will happen at the end of the normal working day in the Commons.

We will bring you more tomorrow morning.
