§ Mr. WrayTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what percentage of Britain's national income is spent on(a) roads, (b) railways and (c) the underground. [22079]
§ Mr. JamiesonAbout 1.4 per cent. of the UK's gross domestic product is spent on the provision and maintenance of transport infrastructure and support for public transport services.
Of this figure, about one third relates to roads and one third is spent on the railways. The remaining one third covers all other forms of transport spending, of which spending on London Underground forms a small proportion.
