§ Mr. Andrew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list for each year since 1979, public sector investment in transport(a) overall, and (b) broken down for (i) roads, (ii) rail and (iii) other forms of transport, in real terms, cash terms and as a proportion of gross domestic product. [5752]
§ Mr. WattsFigures are not readily available in this form. But transport investment is reported annually in "Transport statistics Great Britain" and the Transport Report. Summary information for years prior to 1985–86 was published annually in the Government's expenditure plans. GDP figures for comparative purposes can be found in the annual "Financial Statement and Budget Report".
