§ Mr. BrakeTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department how many kilometres have been travelled on his Department's business in each of the last three years broken down by(a) foot, (b) bike, (c) bus, (d) train, (e) tram, (f) light-rail, (g) plane, (h) motorbike, (i) car, (j) taxi, (k) river-taxi and (l) other modes of transport; what plans and targets his Department has to reduce the kilometres travelled by private transport by his Department's employees; and if he will make a statement. [91022]
§ Mr. VazThe information on business travel is not collected in the form requested and therefore cannot be provided. The Government have set a target that all Government Department headquarters buildings and main buildings occupied by Executive Agencies should have green transport plans by March 1999 and all other key buildings by March 2000.
We have completed green transport plans covering all our headquarters and main buildings and are developing plans for all other key buildings in line with targets set out in the 1998 Integrated Transport White Paper. The plans include measures to reduce single-occupancy car use by employees for commuting and business travel.
