To date Crossrail Ltd. has procured contracts to the combined value of approximately £7.6bn, not including the Rolling Stock and Depot procurement, the Train Operating Company contract or the on-network Network Rail works.<\/p>

Crossrail Ltd. has analysed its supply chain and found that approximately 97 per cent of contractors are based in the UK, 2 per cent are based in the EU and 1 per cent are based outside the EU.<\/p>

These figures are derived from a broad sample which Crossrail Ltd is able to monitor and made up of tier one contractors directly engaged by Crossrail Ltd, contractors from tiers two and three which are deemed to be business critical, and information provided by tier one contractors regarding their own suppliers.<\/p>

For those contracts in which Crossrail Ltd is not a party (i.e. tiers two and below), Crossrail Ltd does not hold data on the value of these contracts as they are commercial agreements between third parties.<\/p>

Crossrail Ltd will be writing to the Noble Lord to explain this in more detail.<\/p>

The Crossrail Project (which is managed by Crossrail Limited) will save approximately £10m as a result of the extension to Reading as some items of scope which were planned to be delivered at Slough and Maidenhead are no longer required.<\/p>

<\/p>

The service requires one additional train to be added to the Crossrail fleet. This will form part of the recently announced rolling stock and depot contract with Bombardier where there was an option to procure additional trains. The exact costs of the train are commercially confidential but I can confirm that the cost is being met from Crossrail's existing funding.<\/p>

<\/p>

Electrification costs are already included in the Great Western electrification programme.<\/p>
