Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has had recent discussions with the Mayor of London on trends in the numbers of passengers on Transport for London's underground network in the last 12 months.

Transport in London is devolved to the Mayor of London and Transport for London (TfL). Under the terms of the current funding settlement, TfL provides the Department with regular data on passenger demand which is monitored and discussed at regular reporting and governance meetings.
