Answer: Mr. Gray: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions if he will list the studies (a) being conducted and (b) published since 1997 by the Transport Research Laboratory. [38531] Mr. Jamieson: [holding answer 28 February 2002]: TRL is an independent private company and carries out research studies for many clients including DTLR. Since 1997 a large number of studies have been completed or are continuing for DTLR, and reports are normally published by TRL on completion of each study. To list the studies and reports would require disproportionate effort, but TRL should be able to provide copies of any report that has been published. Also, TRL publishes annual reports that list all the research and publications for that year and copies of these from 1997 may be obtained directly from TRL.
