Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the fourth extraordinary funding settlement for Transport for London includes funding for the repair and reopening of Hammersmith Bridge.

The repair and reopening of Hammersmith bridge to all users, including motor vehicles, remains a government priority.

The fourth extraordinary funding settlement reaffirms this position and includes a commitment from the government, Transport for London (TfL) and London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham (LBHF) to take forward a share of the costs for the repair and reopening of Hammersmith Bridge. Any government funding for the bridge will be subject to the approval of a business case submitted by LBHF to Department for Transport (DfT) and TfL.
