Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to extend the investment period on the land disposal programme so that the capital receipt for the value of the site enables the Network Rail estate to deliver more projects which will benefit local economic and social needs.
Network Rail does not have an investment period for its land disposal programme. The Public Sector Land Programme was paused last year due to the COVID 19 pandemic, although Network Rail have continued to release land for housing.
