HC Deb 24 November 1992 vol 214 c566W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what are the estimated targets established by his Department for the proportion of freight tonnage to be transported through combined road-rail transport means by the year 2000.

Mr. Freeman

The Department neither sets any such targets nor makes any such estimates. The extent to which consignors of freight use combined transport will depend on what services are available and on their cost, reliability and speed relative to carriage by other means.
