To date we have secured the following partnerships so far for our 2015 campaign:</p><br /><p>- Coca Cola, who will be running their designated driver campaign, rewarding designated drivers with a buy-one-get-one-free offer on coke drinks in thousands of venues during the festive season.</p><p>- Budweiser who also promote and celebrate the important role of designated driver.</p><p>- Johnnie Walker, who ask drivers to take a pledge to never drink and drive, in return for discounted safe journeys home.</p><br /><p>These initiatives are all completely funded by the partner and add significant value to the campaign.</p><br /><p>We will continue to seek further partnerships with commercial brands who can extend the reach and impact of our campaigns.</p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 04/11/2015 11:36:50 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2015 answer text <p>The table below details spend per head per region on cycling. These figures are made up of the following Government funded programmes: Cycle-Rail, Cycle Safety, Linking Communities, Cycle Ambition Cities, Cycle Ambition National Parks and the Local Sustainable Transport Fund.. The figures for total funding consist of DfT funding plus matched funding. Matched funding comes from a range of public and private sources, for example local authority budgets, private partnerships or third party grants.</p><br /><p>We do not hold a regional breakdown for the £4.8m spent in 2013/14 by the Highways Agency. The table also does not include the £11m a year spent on Bikeability cycle training, as we do not hold a regional breakdown of this funding. These funding streams have therefore been excluded from the below calculations. Further, as we are still in financial year 2015/16 we cannot confirm exact expenditure and we have therefore excluded the 2015/16 financial year from the figures.</p><br /><table><tbody><tr><td rowspan="2"><p><strong>Region</strong></p></td><td colspan="5"><p><strong>Average spend per head to nearest £</strong></p></td><td><p><br></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong></strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2011/12</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012/13</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013/14</strong></p></td><td colspan="2"><p><strong>2014/15</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>East Midlands</p></td><td><p>DfT spend</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>East of England</p></td><td><p>DfT spend</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>North East</p></td><td><p>DfT spend</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>8</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>7</p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>North West</p></td><td><p>DfT spend</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>6</p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>South East</p></td><td><p>DfT spend</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>South West</p></td><td><p>DfT spend</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td><p>8</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>8</p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>West Midlands</p></td><td><p>DfT spend</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>6</p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>Yorkshire &amp; Humber</p></td><td><p>DfT spend</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London</p></td><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>9</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>13</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /> <br /><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 27/10/2015 15:11:01 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
