§ Mr. WoodwardTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what proportion of journeys were made by(a) public transport, (b) bicycle and (c) on foot as the main method of travel in (i) St Helens, South, (ii) the North West and (iii) England in the last 12 months for which figures are available. [38271]
§ Ms KeebleThe latest available data relate to the three-year period 1998–2000. The National Travel Survey, from which estimates are derived, does not allow disaggregation of data below county level. At county level, estimates for bicycle use are based on very small numbers and should be regarded with caution.
The proportion of journeys made by (a) public transport, (b) bicycles and (c) on foot as the main method of travel for residents of (i) Merseyside, (ii) the north-west and (iii) England are given in the table:
1998–2000 Merseyside North West and Merseyside England Public Transport 13 10 9 Bicycle 1 1 2 Foot 25 24 26
