HC Deb 27 July 1999 vol 336 cc358-9W
Mr. Woodward

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how many of the Government's performance targets for(a) London Underground and (b) London Buses have been met in the last two years. [91528]

Ms Glenda Jackson

This level of performance reflects an investment backlog of around £1.2 billion on the Underground, and increased traffic congestion on the roads. This is one of the reasons we have decided to allocate an additional £517 million of resources to London Transport, in addition to the £365 million of extra resources announced last year. This will enable them to deliver real improvements to passengers over the next two years.
