HC Deb 23 January 1996 vol 270 cc179-80W
Mr. Callaghan

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what budget provisions exist for light rapid transit schemes in 1994–95; and what is planned for 1995–96. [11038]

Mr. Norris

There is no specific provision for the funding of light rapid transit schemes; these schemes are funded from the local transport capital budget, in competition with other types of local transport scheme. Some £60.2 million was allocated to light rapid transit schemes in 1994–95, and £67.7 million in 1995–96.
