HC Deb 10 March 2003 vol 401 c51W
Mr. Laws

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what his most recent estimate is of the number of journeys on English motorways each(a) day and (b) year, broken down by (i) cars, (ii) lorries and (iii) other vehicles; what information is available to break these figures down by each such motorway; and if he will make a statement. [101528]

Mr. Jamieson

This information is unavailable in the format requested. Statistical information can be found in the document entitled Transport Statistics, Road Traffic Statistics: 2001 and Transport Statistics Bulletin—Traffic in Great Britain: Q4 2002 Data. Access to both these documents can be found at the following websites: http://www.transtat.dft.gov.uk/ tables/2002/rts/rts01. htm and www.transtat.dft.gov.uk/ qbullets/qtraff.htm.

I have arranged for copies of the downloaded document to be placed in the House of Commons Library.

Mr. Laws
