Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the progress by Network Rail in delivering the rail electrification programme.
As the Secretary of State for Transport set out in his oral statement to the House on 25 June, he has asked the new Chair of Network Rail, Sir Peter Hendy, to re-plan the enhancements programme. A full assessment of the delivery of the enhancements programme will be a specific task of the re-plan, which is due to report back in the autumn.
