HL Deb 18 December 2002 vol 642 cc106-7WA
Lord Berkeley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will publish an organisation chart of the senior management at the Strategic Rail Authority down to assistant director level. [HL564]

Lord Macdonald of Tradeston

I am placing in the Library of the House a series of charts showing the authority's senior level structure including all posts reporting directly to its executive directors.

Lord Berkeley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

With respect to each rail passenger franchise, what changes there have been in financial support agreed by the Strategic Rail Authority in the past year, both in respect of this financial year and future ones. [HL565]

Lord Macdonald of Tradeston

Subsidy profiles for each train operating company are published in the Strategic Rail Authority's annual report, copies of which are placed in the Library of the House. Changes in financial support can arise for a variety of reasons—for instance, when franchises are replaced or extended. All changes to franchise agreements—or new agreements themselves—are placed on the authority's public register.
