PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Metropolitan Line: Watford (9 December 2016)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what information the Government holds on Transport for London's deficit for the delivery of the Croxley rail link; and if he will make a statement.

Asked by:
Bob Blackman (Conservative)

Answer

As set out in my answer to my Hon Friend, earlier today (UIN 56736), the delivery of this scheme is a matter for Transport for London (TfL). TfL have made a commitment to deliver it within the resources that have been made available to them, under an agreement which means that they will benefit if the scheme can be delivered at a lower cost while accepting and absorbing any cost overruns. The Department does not have any detailed information on the most recent cost estimates for the scheme’s delivery, which are entirely a matter for TfL, and does not intend to make any further funding available.
