§ Mr. Don FosterTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what assessment has been made of(a) past and (b) likely future scenarios of changes in the cost of different modes of transport in the UK to (i) individuals and (ii) households. [45421]
§ Mr. JamiesonThe most recent published data on past trends in transport costs can be found in "Transport Statistics Great Britain 2001" (tables 1.15 and 1.25) and "Transport Trends 2001" (pages 23 and 41).
Chapter 9 of "Transport 2010", the Government's 10-year plan for transport, contains some general analysis of future transport costs, including illustrative scenarios and their potential impacts. More detail on these scenarios and on the assumptions underlying the 10-year plan is contained in the companion "Background Analysis" document.
