HC Deb 23 July 1998 vol 316 c677W
Mr. Brake

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will ensure that the Journey Times Survey 1998, inner and outer London, includes sample journeys by powered two wheelers. [51813]

Ms Glenda Jackson

In 1993 the Department initiated the Journey Times Survey as a means of assessing long-term changes in accessibility in London, and how complete door-to-door journey times vary between modes. Motorcycling is not included in the survey as it is considered that the journey times recorded would not be a sufficiently reliable indicator of changing traffic conditions.
