Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much has been budgeted for consultants in cost estimates for the Plymouth to Tavistock rail extension.
The Network North announcement included a commitment to delivering the Tavistock to Plymouth rail link, subject to satisfactory business cases.
The Department has reviewed the scheme’s Strategic Outline Business Case and is working with Network Rail, industry and local authorities on the development of a programme on next steps. Discussions on cost estimates and their composition are yet to take place.
