§ Lord Sefton of Garstonasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will publish the details of the agreement that will ensure the private sector pays £400 million to the cost of the Jubilee Line extension, and how this differs from the original agreement.
§ Lord Mackay of ArdbrecknishFull details of the funding agreement between London Transport/London Underground Limited and Olympia and York Canary Wharf Ltd. are commercially confidential. As the noble Lord will know, the first payment of some £100 million has already been made; the remaining £300 million is to be paid over a 24-year period starting one year after the first day of operation of the Jubilee Line extension.
