Proceeding contribution from Tom Harris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 January 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Network Rail.


Network Rail

On a point of clarification, the right hon. Gentleman may have missed the publication in July of the Government's White Paper, which contained the high level output specification. That specifically states what we expect to buy from Network Rail in terms of performance and efficiencies. It sets out explicitly the statement of funds available. It sounds to me as if he has just described what we have already produced in July. He referred to that being done on an annual basis, however, and we are doing it on a five-year control period basis.
