PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(18 June 2026)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 15 June 2026 to Question 7211 on Network Rail: Biodiversity, what funding provision within the Final Determination covers the preparation and implementation of habitat management plans; and what the value of that provision is.

Asked by:
Rebecca Smith (Conservative)

Answer

Funding for the preparation and implementation of habitat management plans is not separately identified within the Final Determination, but the work is part of business-as-usual activity within Network Rail’s broader allocations for operations, maintenance, and environmental sustainability. Consequently, there is no standalone financial value assigned specifically to these plans within the settlement.
