HC Deb 27 October 1997 vol 299 c725W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will list those organisations that have responded to date to the consultation exercise on an integrated transport policy. [12973]

Ms Glenda Jackson

Some 20,000 copies of the consultation document on developing an integrated transport policy have been sent out to members of the public and organisations. So far, around 4,000 responses have been received and officials are now entering details of these on to a database so that they can be properly analysed. The great bulk of responses received to date are from individuals and it is likely that most organisations such as business and local authorities will contribute nearer the closing date of 14 November.

A full report on the consultation exercise will be published with the White Paper.
