§ Mr. AltonTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what values for personal travelling time are given in departmental assessment methods for(a) bus passengers, (b) pedestrians, (c) motorists and (d) cyclists. [39791]
§ Mr. NorrisI have been asked to reply.
Departmental assessment methods use values for savings in personal travel time, rather than a value of personal travel time itself. A saving of one hour of personal travel time for bus passengers or motorists is valued at £3.15 in 1994 prices. The value used for time savings to cyclists and pedestrians is double that for users of modes.
