<p>Figures on public sector expenditure at a regional level are part of the Government’s
Country and Regional Analysis (CRA) statistics. These statistics attempt to allocate
the spending according to where the benefits of that spend are accrued.</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 the devolved administrations). Comparisons between London and other regions
are often not reliable due to difficulty in cost allocation.</p><p>This information
is available for Government office regions only, and therefore is unavailable for
Greater Manchester.</p><p> </p><p>Statistics for total public capital expenditure
on transport per capita for London are given in the table below. The CRA measures
the levels of ‘capital’ and ‘current’ expenditure. Capital expenditure has been used
as a proxy for spending on transport projects specifically.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Total
