HC Deb 26 February 2002 vol 380 c1210W
Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to his answer of 12 February 2002,Official Report, column 243W, on funding for the 10-year transport plan, whether there will be a decrease of £1.962 billion for payment over the years 2006–07 to 2011–12. [37227]

Mr. Andrew Smith

Of the £1.962 billion figure, £1.5 billion reflected the advancement of direct grants due to Railtrack in future control periods. The long-term savings resulting from this advancement of grant will be one of a number of factors to be taken into account in this year's review of the Ten Year Plan.
