Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they expect to receive the results of the review by Sir Peter Hendy of Network Rail projects in Control Period 5; whether those results will be subject to a period of consultation; and if so, who they plan to consult on them.

Sir Peter Hendy will report back to the Secretary of State for Transport this autumn with a proposal for re-planning the Control Period 5 enhancements in a way that is efficient, deliverable and affordable.

As part of this re-planning exercise Network Rail is consulting widely, including with train and freight operators.
