Road Safety Schemes

HC Deb 24 January 2000 vol 343 c128W

Mr. Kidney

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what was the expenditure by his Department and its agencies on road safety schemes in each financial year since 1997. [105485]

Mr. Hill

The expenditure was:

	£ million
1997–98	7.3
1998–99	50.6
1999–2000	139.3
1 To date

The basis for classifying road expenditure was revised from 1998–99 onwards, and the information for 1997–98 is not directly comparable with subsequent years. It may understate the position.
