Proceeding contribution from Nick Hurd (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 July 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Transport Innovation Fund.


Transport Innovation Fund

Will the Secretary of State clarify one important message in his statement? In paragraph 17, he said that local authorities will be encouraged to bid for development funding, available in the next three years, to support planning for local demand management schemes where pricing is a major element. Does that mean that local authorities that have a different sense of local priorities—for example, authorities that wish to invest in a relief road or in soft measures to improve bicycle use or bus use—should take from his statement the message that they should not bother?
