§ Mr. Ivan HendersonTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport how much funding the Harwich constituency has received under the local transport plan since 1997. [107714]
§ Mr. JamiesonSince year 2000, allocations under the Local Transport Plan procedures (and prior to that their predecessor Transport Policies and Programme) have been made by my Department to local transport authorities, in this case Essex county Council. LTPs identify individual schemes costing over £5 million as `major schemes'; make a block allocations for integrated transport measures each costing less than £5 million; and make an allocation for maintenance based on a common formula. Figures are kept only for the Tendring district council area as a whole and so it is possible to identify expenditure falling solely within the Harwich constituency only for major schemes, by reference to their location.
