Hitachi Rail: Finance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much funding from the public has been paid to Hitachi Rail UK Ltd in each of the last five years.

Answer

Hitachi Rail UK are a significant supplier to the UK Rail Industry. The Government works in partnership with the private sector in the provision of trains for operation in the UK railway through the Rolling Stock Leasing Companies, and (in the case of the DfT procured Inter City Express fleets), Agility Trains. We do not hold data on what proportion of those lease and availability payments made by train operators to these partners ultimately flow to Hitachi Rail UK.
