Whether they will publish statistics to enable consumers to make an accurate comparison of fares on metropolitan underground rail transport services in the United Kingdom with equivalent services elsewhere in Europe. [HL699]

Lord Falconer of Thoroton

Transport for London (TfL) publishes a fares index for London Underground in the annual publicationTransport Statistics for London. In addition, TfL has published some international fare comparisons in Public Transport in London: Market report 2000. Both publications are now in the Library.

The Glasgow Underground is the responsibility of the Scottish Executive.
