Lord Berkeley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will instruct the Strategic Rail Authority to suspend all further refranchising work until the outcome of the comprehensive spending review. [HL3091]

No. The Strategic Rail Authority's refranchising programme extends beyond the period of funding considered by the Government's comprehensive spending review.
