§ Mr. Hill"Transport 2010: The 10—Year Plan" published by the Government in July contained details of historic and planned future levels of public investment in transport. Between 1997–98 and 1999–2000, DETR funded public capital investment in transport totalling £7.8 billion in cash terms. In the same period DETR funded public expenditure on transport totalling £22.4 billion in cash terms. The table provides a breakdown of these figures by mode of transport and year and illustrates how spending on transport is due to increase as a result of the Spreading Review 2000 settlement announced by the Chancellor in July. Copies of the 10—Year Plan have been placed in the House Libraries.
