(asked on 17th January 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much it cost to secure the LNER naming rights for the York City football stadium.
This question was answered on 24th January 2022
The Department does not hold that information.
The agreement between London North Eastern Railway (LNER) and York City Council is a commercial matter between those parties.
LNER operates on a commercial basis. DFT OLR Holdings Ltd, an arms-length body of the Department for Transport, oversees the strategic approach of the LNER business, but within this, commercial decisions, such as the marketing decision to sponsor York Community Stadium, are for LNER to make.
