question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether rolling stock contracts will be included in the Government’s zero-based capital review to ensure Departmental procurement and rail franchising delivers the greatest benefit to UK economy and boost productivity.
tabling member constituency	Stockton North
tabling member printed	Alex Cunningham
uin	247046
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2019 answer text <p>Rolling stock procurement is undertaken through fair and open competition, usually via a train operating company as part of their franchise commitments. Rolling stock contracts are not direct departmental capital spending and we therefore do not expect them to form part of any zero-based capital review. However, the William’s Rail Review will consider rail franchising as part of the root and branch review of the railway to ensure that rail delivers benefits for passengers and taxpayers.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 03/05/2019 09:01:08 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
