Given the significant investment in London Underground in the past five years, which doubled in real terms compared with the previous five years, and given that much more investment is needed to improve the underground's infrastructure for the benefit of Londoners, does my right hon.

Privatisation will deliver much-improved services to the people of London, and I warmly support that initiative.
