§ Miss LestorTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is the current budget for road safety campaigning; and what percentage is allocated to responding to inquiries from members of the public.
§ Mr. ChopeEstimates provision on road safety publicity in 1990–91 is £4.254 million. About 1 per cent. of this is allocated to the provision of a freephone inquiry service in connection with the recent child road safety publicity campaign. Each year several thousand written and telephone inquiries on all aspects of road safety are received by my Department. The cost of responding to these is not separately identified in the Department's provision for running costs.
