§ Mr. SymsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will give an itemised breakdown of the £1,550,000 budget of the Commission for Integrated Transport in 1999–2000. [115635]
§ Mr. HillThe Commission for Integrated Transport's provisional budget for 1999–2000 had to be allocated well before its launch. A sum of £1.5 million was originally allocated from within DETR's programme budget for this purpose.
Because CfIT was not launched until July 1999, however, it will spend much less than the £1.5 million figure. Its projected spend to the end of this financial year is £269,000.
