To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if a tender for the London Transport prestige project which is not fully compliant with the specification set by London Transport will be eligible for consideration as a preferred bid; and if he will make a statement. [10430]

This is a matter for London Transport. I understand that it is conducting the prestige competition in accordance with both its normal procurement practices and the relevant European procurement legislation.
