House of Commons Hansard Written Ministerial Statements for 21 Mar 2005 (pt 4)

Transport for London

The Minister of State, Department for Transport (Mr Tony McNulty): The Government have been working with Transport for London (TfL) and the Greater London Authority (GLA) to set out projections of the impact of TfL's business plan on the Department for Transport (DfT) national priorities, in order to generate overall agreed TfL planned outcomes.

These projections are in the format of 2010 outcomes which are given in the table below. The table also includes the year end position for 2005–06 which is consistent with the planned 2010 result.

These have been agreed at a working level between TfL, GLA and DfT, which I have discussed with the Mayor. They will be considered by the TfL Board on the 23 March, and are being published today alongside the TfL board papers. These outcomes are based on modelling, and as such will be updated as actual data is received.
