Answer: Mr. Redwood: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions how much (a) private capital and (b) public money was spent on transport during the first year of the 10-year plan. [58013] Mr. Byers: During the first year of the 10-year plan for Transport (2001-02), provisional figures indicate that around £6,550 million of public money was spent on transport, almost £500 million more than was envisaged in the published plan. My Department is currently collecting data on private sector spending on transport in 2001-02 and an estimate of this should be included in the first year report on the 10-year plan when it is published in July.
