§ Dr. MarekTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make it his policy to publish complete information on central and local government expenditure on transport in Great Britain in future editions of Transport Statistics Great Britain, 1997. [54182]
§ Ms Glenda JacksonTransport Statistics Great Britain (TSGB) is a compendium of Transport Statistics, generally relying on information already in the public domain.
The publication of information on central and local government expenditure in TSGB has always included summary results drawn from the most recently published editions of Scottish Transport Statistics, Welsh Transport Statistics, and DETR Annual Report: Government Expenditure Plans (or formerly The Transport Report: Government Expenditure Plans). I have no plans to change this policy, but we will continue to consult with the Welsh and Scottish Offices to ensure that TSGB contains the most up-to-date publicly available information.
