Commons ChamberAs we look to settling Network Rail’s control period 7, of course that will be a major consideration in the next funding settlement.
The Budget committed significant funding both for mayoral areas and those not covered by mayoral combined authorities through the local transport fund. Crucially, new powers will be delivered to those areas to ensure they can take back control of their local public transport services. Of course I would be delighted to meet my hon. Friend to discuss this further.
