Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of extending the Docklands Light Railway to Thamesmead.

The Government is committed to supporting the delivery of housing across the country, including in London, ensuring developments are supported by appropriate transport infrastructure as we build back better from this pandemic.

The scale of the opportunity, and potential options, at Thamesmead & Beckton Riverside is being explored. The Government and Homes England are working together with the Greater London Authority and Transport for London to do this.
