London: Traffic Congestion (Hansard, 2 March 2005)

HL Deb 02 March 2005 vol 670 c31WA 31WA

§ Lord Hanningfield
asked Her Majesty's Government:
How much they estimate the cost of traffic congestion to be for businesses in London, in the last year for which figures are available. [HL1217]

§ Lord Davies of Oldham
The Government have made no such estimate. The main thrust of the department's policy is to assess options for reducing congestion and consider whether the benefits delivered exceed the costs.
