HC Deb 12 January 1999 vol 323 cc165-6W
27. Mrs. Laing

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions by what criteria he intends to measure the performance of his integrated transport strategy; and if he will make a statement. [63592]

Ms Glenda Jackson

Our New Deal for Transport will have succeeded when we have a modern, integrated transport system that offers everyone more choice and a better quality of life. A range of indicators at national, regional and local level will be used to measure performance, as set out in the White Paper. In addition, we are setting up the Commission for Integrated Transport to monitor progress and advise on the development of new targets.
