To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by Baroness Blake of Leeds on 7 October that savings of between £110 million and £150 million would accrue from the public ownership of the railway (HL Deb col 1833), how this figure was calculated.

The figures represent the expected savings in fees which will no longer be payable to private-sector operators, each year, once all currently franchised services have transferred to public ownership. A range is presented because these fees include both fixed and performance-based elements, so future years’ values are subject to some uncertainty.

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the Mayor of London and the relevant London boroughs about investing in permanent 'hostile vehicle mitigation'  measures on London’s bridges, as recommended in the conclusions of the inquest into the London Bridge terror attack.

Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) is currently provided via the National Barrier Asset (NBA) on five bridges within central London. The NBA measures provide a high level of protection to these bridges, and discussions are ongoing between CT Policing and relevant local stakeholders regarding the installation of permanent structures. Permanent measures have been installed on Westminster Bridge since 2022.

Discussions take place periodically between CT Policing and relevant London bodies, such as Transport for London, to progress this matter.
