Lord Berkeley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How they intend to achieve the outputs from the public service agreement announced on 15 July in respect of reducing road congestion on interurban trunk roads and large urban areas in 2010 below the 2000 levels. [HL5369]

Lord Macdonald of Tradeston

The PSA congestion target in the Spending Review White Paper was first published inTransport 2010: The 10 year Plan in July 2000. The plan identifies the reduction of congestion as a priority. It seeks to address the problem through an integrated approach, using a wide range of measures. The plan is a package of investment to improve railways, strategic roads and local transport.
