HC Deb 22 October 1990 vol 178 c63W
30. Mr. Knapman

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport by what amount transport investment in the United Kingdom has changed in real terms over the last three years; and what are the projected figures for investment over the next three years.

Mr. Freeman

In 1989–90 investment in transport through the Department of Transport's programme and the nationalised industries for which it is responsible was nearly 40 per cent. higher in real terms than three years earlier. In three years hence, on the basis of the plans shown in the public expenditure White Paper, it will be about 40 per cent. higher again.
