Transport: Rail and Water Freight

Volume 691: debated on Wednesday 2 May 2007

asked Her Majesty's Government:

In the last year, who has received rail and water freight grants made by the Department for Transport; and what was the amount of each grant. [HL3434]

The table below outlines the offers of grant made by the department since 1 April 2006. These represent the maximum value of grant available.

These grants were made through four grant schemes: Company Neutral Revenue Support (CNRS) and Track Access Grant (TAG), which have now both been replaced by the Rail Environmental Benefit Procurement Scheme (REPS), and Freight Facilities Grant (FFG).
