Written Question: Railway Contracts

Lord Moylan:To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to publish the contractual arrangements between Network Rail, Southeastern and DfT Operator Limited which enable the formation of a single leadership team for Southeastern and the Kent Route of Network Rail; and if not, what are the reasons for that decision.

Minister of State, Department for Transport (Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill, CBE):

The Department is not a party to the contractual arrangements between Network Rail and Southeastern and cannot therefore comment on publication.
