HC Deb 27 January 2003 vol 398 c528W
Tom Brake

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what the cost of a life figure used is in cost benefit calculations relating to safety improvements in(a) rail, (b) road, (c) air, (d) pedestrian (e) cycling and (f) other modes of transport. [92620]

Mr. Jamieson

The value used for the prevention of a fatality in cost benefit analyses of all surface transport policies and schemes was published in DFT's "Highways Economics Note No. 1: 2001" which is in the Libraries of the House. There is no formal value set for measures affecting our passengers.
