§ Mr. AmosTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport how much public money(a) has already been spent on the docklands light railway, and (b) is planned to be spent in the next three years.
§ Mr. PortilloPublic expenditure on the initial docklands light railway and City extension is expected to reach some £140 million by the end of this financial year. Public expenditure in the following three years on the City extension is forecast to total some £45 million. In addition to this Olympia and York the developers of Canary wharf are contributing £68 million. The cost of the Beckton extension will be met by the LDDC out of the increases in the value of its land holdings generated by the railway.
