asked Her Majesty's Government:

What was the original planned start date of the London Underground public/private partnership; and how far behind schedule the project now is. [HL1771]

No definitive target date was set. The first of three public/private partnership contracts completed on 31 December 2002. The second and third contracts are due to complete this spring.
