It would not be appropriate to comment on the detail of an ongoing investigation by the JEP. The United Kingdom has provided financial and public support to Colombia's transitional justice system since it was set up. We continue to work closely with the Colombian government and civil society on the peace process and related matters.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 17/10/2019 16:17:08 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/10/2019 answer text <p>Figures on public sector expenditure at a national level are part of the Government’s Country and Regional Analysis (CRA) statistics.</p><p> </p><p>The statistics include spend on transport by all public sector organisations including the Department for Transport, Local Authorities, Public Corporations (in the case of transport, this is mainly spend by London Underground) and other government departments including devolved administrations.</p><p> </p><p>Please note that much of the responsibility for transport in Wales and, in particular Scotland, is devolved to the Welsh and Scottish administrations. For example, responsibility for strategic roads and local roads in Wales is devolved to the Welsh Government and Welsh local authorities respectively, who are therefore responsible for related funding decisions.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>When comparing expenditure across regions a number of factors should be considered. For example, when expenditure is presented on a “per head of population” basis, it does not account for the pressure that large numbers of commuters and visitors from outside of a region can add to the transport networks. In addition, larger built-up areas tend to make greater use of mass public transport systems, and these will generate fares income which contributes to their operating costs.</p><p> </p><p>Table 1: Public expenditure on all transport, by all public sector bodies in 2017-18 (<em>£ per head of population)</em></p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>(a) Wales</p></td><td><p>£410</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>(b) England</p></td><td><p>£475</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>(c) Scotland</p></td><td><p>£667</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><em>Source: Table A.15 - </em><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/country-and-regional-analysis-2018" target="_blank"><em>https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/country-and-regional-analysis-2018</em></a></p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 07/10/2019 14:24:58 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
