Docklands Light Railway: Thamesmead

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with Transport for London on the potential impact of extending the DLR to Thamesmead on (a) economic growth and (b) housing delivery.

Answer

We appreciate the strategic and economic benefits of new transport infrastructure programmes in London like the DLR extension to Thamesmead.

This government remains committed to supporting London and the transport network on which it depends and regularly engages with TfL to understand its capital portfolio for the long-term.

We continue to work with the Mayor of London and Transport for London on funding for transport in the capital as part of the Spending Review and it will then be for them to decide which projects to take forward.
