Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 9 July 2015 to Question 5694, what projects will receive how much funding for projects in addition to the Rail Investment Strategy in each year as part of funding available.

The Secretary of State announced on 25th June that he had commissioned from the incoming Chair of Network Rail, Sir Peter Hendy, proposals for re-planning the Control Period 5 (CP5) programme. It would be premature to comment on the detailed delivery of individual projects before Sir Peter reports. The Secretary of State has reaffirmed the commitment of this Government to ensure that the CP5 programme of rail investments will be delivered.
