Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many of Network Rail's Control Period 5 projects have had a cost determination under the Office of Rail Regulation's Enhancement Cost Adjustment Mechanism (ECAM); how many such projects remain to be assessed; how many of Network Rail's ECAM submissions have missed their deadline; and how many ECAM submissions have been referred back to Network Rail by the Office of Rail Regulation for further development.

The Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) is responsible for the ECAM process and is best placed to answer any questions on this. ORR publishes various information on its website about ECAM, including a list of completed submissions (last updated December 2014). You can find all of this information at the link below:
