question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Sugg on 2 April (HL14685), of the £48 billion committed to investment in the rail network during Control Period 6, how much is for new (1) infrastructure, and (2) rolling stock; and what is the planned investment in HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail during the same period.
tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL15085
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2019 answer text <p>The £48bn Control Period 6 funding settlement for the railway that Government announced in 2017 makes provision for the operation, maintenance and renewal of rail infrastructure between 2019 and 2024. It includes a £10.4bn provision for infrastructure enhancement projects. This is on top of new rolling stock, which is procured via separate arrangements.</p><p> </p><p>High Speed 2 (HS2) has a long-term funding envelope of £55.7bn (2015 prices). It is this government’s largest capital programme and the benefits are largely for the North.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has committed £52m to continue to develop Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) this year. Decisions on future investment will be considered in the Spending Review. We are working with Transport for the North on their plans for NPR. The full benefits of NPR can only be achieved by integrating it with HS2 and given the status of the projects NPR needs HS2 to be built first.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 24/04/2019 14:21:45 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Governance for Rail Investment Projects (GRIP) system for assessing rail enhancement schemes is still being used for any schemes; and if so, what are the criteria for determining that GRIP is to be used.
tabling member printed	Lord Greaves
uin	HL10767
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2018 answer text <p>GRIP is Network Rail’s project delivery methodology, developed to manage project delivery and governance. All rail infrastructure investment projects are subject to GRIP. The Rail Network Enhancement Pipeline (RNEP) approach separates rail enhancements from the periodic review process which determines the five-year funding settlements for operating, maintaining and renewing the network.</p><p> </p><p>There are now three key decision points for evaluating enhancements proposals using a pipeline approach: the decision to develop, the decision to design and the decision to deliver (final investment decision). Each decision point is informed by a HMT-compliant business case and assessed for strategic fit, value for money, affordability and deliverability of the proposal. It should be noted that these stages do not directly align with the Governance of Railway Investment Projects (GRIP) stages used by Network Rail, however some of the later stages will be informed by GRIP related activities.</p><p> </p><p>Network Rail will only commit to deliver projects once design work is complete and there are robust delivery and cost estimates to inform good decision-making.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 30/10/2018 17:17:00 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
