§ Mr. Damian Green:To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what the overall investment figures in the London Underground were for each year between 1990 and 2003, broken down by line. [140927]
§ Mr. McNulty:London Underground, which transferred from central Government to Transport for London on 15 July, does not record investment by line. They have provided the following information. In April 2000, London Underground adopted new accounting treatment for its investment expenditure which removed the category 'investment renewals' the majority of this expenditure was reclassified as capital, although some (£90 million) became resource expenditure. Therefore the figures before and after April 2000 are not directly comparable and are presented in two separate tables with the years 1990–91 to 1999–2000 on one consistent basis and those for a restated 1999–2000 to 2002–03 are on another. It is normal accounting practice when a change in accounting treatment occurs to restate the previous year's figures on the same basis in the accounts, so that a true comparison can be made. 707W
