HC Deb 28 April 1994 vol 242 c268W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what percentage of the United Kingdom's transport budget is currently spent on public transport; and what are the comparable figures for other EU countries.

Mr. Freeman

In 1994–95, nearly 40 per cent. of the Government's total transport expenditure will be on public transport. Comparable figures for other EU countries are not readily available.
