The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the answer of 17 June 2026 to Question 8092 on Bakerloo line: Housing, whether his Department has had discussions with the Mayor of London on the proposed Bakerloo line extension.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The government continues to engage with the Greater London Authority on a range of transport and infrastructure matters.

The Bakerloo Line Extension has featured in wider discussions between the government and the Greater London Authority on the Mayor’s infrastructure priorities.

The government remains committed to working collaboratively with the Mayor and other partners to support sustainable growth and infrastructure delivery across the capital.

As transport in London is devolved to the Mayor and Transport for London, it is for them to make decisions on the merits of investment including any upgrade to the Bakerloo Line.
