Martin Linton

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how much his Department and its predecessors spent on transport in London in each of the last five years; and what plans he has to finance new London transport schemes in 2003 to 2008. [100895]

Mr. Jamieson

The figures show the Treasury's analysis of public expenditure on Road and Transport in London taken from the annual Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses (PESA).

	£ million
1997–98	1,394
1998–99	1,436
1999–2000	1,366
2000–01	1,396

From 2001/02 onwards, the Government's spending on transport in London, and its plans for the future are laid out in Table A1.1 of Annexe 1 to "Delivering Better Transport: Progress Report", published in December 2002. These are shown as follows:

	£ million
2001–02	1,597
2002–03	2,189
2003–04	2,716
2004–05	2,579
2005–06	2,504
2006–07	2,616
2007–08	2,690

Decisions on individual schemes in London are a matter for the Mayor and Transport for London (TfL). London will also benefit from improvements to the National Rail network.
