Network Rail: Biodiversity
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 15 June 2026 to Question 7211 on Network Rail: Biodiversity, what funding provision within the Final Determination covers the preparation and implementation of habitat management plans; and what the value of that provision is.
Answered by Keir Mather
Funding for the preparation and implementation of habitat management plans is not separately identified within the Final Determination, but the work is part of business-as-usual activity within Network Rail’s broader allocations for operations, maintenance, and environmental sustainability. Consequently, there is no standalone financial value assigned specifically to these plans within the settlement.
