Answer

Mr. Dobson: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the non-elected bodies responsible to his Department which are responsible for providing advice or services in London, indicating in each case the (i) overall budget and (ii) estimated running costs for each year from 1996-97 to 1999-2000. [21384] Mr. Bowis: Very many bodies, elected and unelected, provide advice on transport in London or offer some form of transport service. Of these, three bodies have roles which are specific to London and are responsible to me. These are London Transport, the London Regional Passengers Committee and the Traffic Director for London. The information for these bodies is: Traffic Director for London £ million _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1996-97 1997-98 1998-99 1999-00 (i) overall budget 17.5 22 22 22 (ii) estimated running costs 1.8 1.8 1.8 1.8 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Budget and running costs for London Transport are a matter for LT. My Department provides the LRPC with grant in aid which covers its running costs. The estimated outturn for 1996-97 is £534,000 and the planned level of grant for 1997-98 is £524,000. Figures for 1998-99 and 1999-2000 are not available.
