Heathrow Express
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the press release, GWR to manage Heathrow Express service, published in the Railway Gazettee on 28 March 2018, for what reason the contingent liabilities relating to the deal between Heathrow Airport Limited, First Greater Western Limited and the Department for Transport was not announced until 11 June 2018 in a Written Ministerial Statement (HCWS748).
- Answer
-
The actual legal agreements enabling GWR to operate Heathrow Express services were not signed until 17 April, following which officials have been in discussion with the Treasury Officer of Accounts about the nature of these contingent liabilities and whether they fell under existing Departmental activities or should be notified as new contingent liabilities. I apologise for the resultant delay in notifying Parliament.
