Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the monthly cost to the public purse is of consultants supporting or contracted by the Great British Railways Transition Team.
Great British Railways Transition Team’s (GBRTT) resourcing and consultancy requirements vary month by month, depending on the level and requirements of the work at different points across the Rail Transformation Programme. The average consultancy cost per month, since GBRTT was created in October 2021, is £1.3m.
