The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Answer of 31 October 2025 to Question HL11224 on Railways: Wifi, if she will publish that analysis.

Answered by Keir Mather

We would not ordinarily release this to protect the commercial interests of government and its suppliers. However, we are preparing a Business Case for LEO which we will publish in due course.
