Mr. Hoyle: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how much Government funding has been
provided to Railtrack through other bodies in each year since 1997. [157752]
Mr. Hill: My answer dated 18 December 2000, Official Report, column 7W, provided details of Government funding to train operating
companies (TOCs) in 1997-98, 1998-99 and 1999-2000. In addition, the Government paid freight grants of £21 million, £19 million and
£17 million respectively to freight operating companies (FOCs) in those years. That funding is not hypothecated to cover particular
types of expenditure, so it cannot be directly identified as the source of payments made by TOCs and FOCs to Railtrack. For example,
in addition to Government funding, TOCs receive income from Passenger Transport Executives, from fares paid for passenger services
and from payments made for other services.
The table provides details, for 1997-98, 1998-99 and 1999-2000, of access charges paid to Railtrack by TOCs and FOCs, as stated in
Railtrack's Annual Reports and Accounts 1998-99 and 1999-2000.

Note: Railtrack's passenger and freight income makes up some 90 per cent. of its total income. The company's profitability is
therefore contingent on Government funding.

Mr. Hoyle: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what financial assistance the Government
have provided to (a) Railtrack and (b) rail operating companies in each of last three years. [142877]
Mr. Hill: Government subsidies are paid to train operating companies (TOCs) in the form of Support for Passenger Rail Services
(SPRS) paid by the Franchising Director and grants paid by Passenger Transport Executives (PTEs). The table provides details, for
1997-98, 1998-99 and 1999-2000, of SPRS and PTE payments to TOCs.
Passenger grants paid to TOCs, etc.

1997-98 1998-99 1999-2000
SPRS payments 1,429 1,196 1,031
PTE payments 375 337 312
Total Government subsidies to 1,804 1,533 1,343
TOCs
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Since privatisation, no Government subsidies have been paid direct to Railtrack, but the company's profitability is contingent on
public money. Some 85 per cent. of Railtrack's income is paid to the company by TOCs in access charges, a substantial proportion of
which are supported by Government subsidies.
