§ Lord Berkeleyasked Her Majesty's Government:
What value for money criteria were used in assessing the amount of track access grant awarded to Freightliner, and what values per lorry miles saved were used for motorways and dual carriageways, inter-urban single carriageway roads and urban roads respectively.
§ Viscount GoschenThe track access grant to Freightliner reflects the environmental benefits of keeping this traffic on rail. The usual lorry mile valuations were used (5p for motorways and most dual carriageways; £1.00 for other rural roads; and £1.50 for other urban roads).
