§ Mr. StevensonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions for what reason the Local Transport Plan Settlement announced on 13 November allocated to Stoke-on-Trent a reduction in capital allocations between 2000–01 and 2002–03.[139502]
§ Mr. HillThe capital allocations for highway maintenance were calculated using a formula applied on a consistent basis to all authorities. One criteria was that authorities should not receive a smaller allocation in 2001–02 or 2002–03 than they did in 2000–01. However, allocations were rounded to the nearest £1,000.
