Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for what reason the Extraordinary Funding and Financing Agreement for Transport for London contains a number of conditions while the operational support payments to franchised passenger rail operators under emergency agreements contain no conditions.

The Government is seeking to steer Transport for London towards a financially sustainable position by April 2023 and as well as offering substantial financial support, the Extraordinary Funding and Financing Agreement contains a number of conditions which reflect that position. This ensures that funding support achieves the best possible value for all taxpayers.
