Creating an alternative financing model that delivers value for money for the taxpayer will take time to develop.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s ambition remains to make best use of funding from alternative sources to enable delivery of the whole project and to ensure that funding is underpinned by contributions from those people and businesses this development supports. Options for using this alternative funding to cover the costs of the tunnel between Old Oak Common and Euston are also being considered.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Davies of Gower question first answered 27/11/2023 15:00:27 answering member 4499 label Biography information for Lord Davies of Gower
