Department for Transport funding for local highway maintenance is allocated mainly by formula to local highway authorities at the upper tier, to county councils or unitary authorities, so we are unable to provide a break down by Parliamentary constituency. The formula comprises the Needs Element (£725 million in England outside London in 2019/20) and the Incentive/Efficiency Element (£150 million 2019/20). Integrated Transport Block (ITB) is a formula distribution of capital funding to local transport authorities, which is designed to fund small-scale local transport improvements, including road safety measures, public transport and public realm improvements.<\/p>
<\/p>
In each of the last three years the Department\u2019s allocation to Surrey County Council for local highway maintenance and for ITB was as follows:<\/p>
<\/p>
2017/18 £21.072 million<\/p>
2018/19 £21.056 million<\/p>
2019/20 £21.034 million<\/p>
<\/p>
The proposed allocation for 2020/21 is £21.034 million.<\/p>
<\/p>
Following Budget 2018, Surrey County Council received a share, £7.409 million, of the £420 million additional funding announced for England. This was for local highways maintenance including the repair of potholes, to keep local bridges and structures open and safe, and to aid other minor highway works.<\/p>
<\/p>
Surrey County Council has a Private Finance Initiative for street lighting, for which the revenue grant payment in each of the last three years was £5.955 million.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, Surrey County Council has received over £3.7 million in total over the last three years through the Pothole Action Fund.<\/p>

The first key milestone will be a call for evidence which we plan to launch in autumn this year. We will use the responses to identify where reform is needed now to address areas with a pressing need for change. The responses will also help the Government clarify where further work is necessary ahead of more substantial changes to legislation over the next few years.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4020", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for George Freeman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Mid Norfolk"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "George Freeman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-10-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-10-08T09:27:31.347Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-10-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Electric Scooters"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the timeframe is for the publication of the Future of Mobility regulatory review.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4073", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dr Sarah Wollaston"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Totnes"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dr Sarah Wollaston"} ], "uin" : "294143"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1148260", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1148260/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The law in the United Kingdom already allows for the use of national identifiers on number plates for domestic use.<\/p>
<\/p>
The use of a GB identifier on a number plate is recognised by countries that have signed up to the Vienna Convention.<\/p>
<\/p>
Those countries which have not signed up to the Vienna Convention will still require the use of a GB sticker as the Convention does not include provisions for distinguishing signs in a number plate.<\/p>
<\/p>
Therefore, advice to customers to avoid any difficulties when travelling internationally would be to use a GB sticker on their vehicle.<\/p>

Greybull Capital is not itself a shareholder in Monarch Airlines but it does perform an advisory and management role for the principal shareholder, Petrol Jersey Limited. There is no formal legal mechanism we can use to oblige Greybull to contribute towards the cost of repatriating passengers.<\/p>
<\/p>
However, Marc Meyohas, partner at Greybull, wrote to the Transport Select Committee acknowledging a moral obligation (if they make a profit) to contribute and help to defray the costs incurred by the Government in repatriating Monarch customers.<\/p>
<\/p>
The extent of any profit or loss from Greybull Capital and Petrol Jersey Limited\u2019s investment in Monarch Airlines will depend on the outcome of the administration process, which is not due to conclude until October 2020. Until then, we will not be able to confirm the final total that the Department has recouped.<\/p>
<\/p>
Discussions with Greybull in relation to recovering the costs of the repatriation operation have been in writing. Ministers last wrote to Greybull on this matter on 5 December 2018.<\/p>

Figures on public sector expenditure at a national level are part of the Government\u2019s Country and Regional Analysis (CRA) statistics.<\/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>
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>
When comparing expenditure across regions a number of factors should be considered. For example, when expenditure is presented on a \u201cper head of population\u201d 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>
