HC Deb 19 March 2003 vol 401 c759W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport why the estimates of traffic in 2000 will not be agreed until May 2003. [103056]

Mr. Jamieson

A re-assessment of the traffic figures, which began in 2002, has been a major exercise, but is now nearing completion. It is expected that the revised estimates for all years will be ready for the next Road Traffic Statistics Quarterly Bulletin due to be published on Thursday 8 May. This will be in accordance with the new National Statistics protocol on Release Practices, which requires the publication of revised estimates as soon as these are available.
