answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2023 answer text <p>Local transport policy and funding, including funding for active travel, is a devolved matter for the Scottish Government. In England outside London, the Government is projecting investment of around £3bn in active travel over the current Parliament. Amounts per capita in future years will vary significantly from one part of the country to another depending not only on local investment decisions but also on final decisions on capital and revenue budgets for active travel for the next two financial years, which have not yet been taken.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/03/2023 14:59:22 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for what reason the budget for active travel has been reduced from £3.8 billion to £3 billion over this Parliament.
tabling member constituency	York Central
tabling member printed	Rachael Maskell
uin	163807
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2023 answer text <p>The Department does not recognise the reduction that the Honourable Lady refers to. The figure of £3.8 billion was a projection of total investment from a wide range of Government funding streams over the five-year period of the second Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS2), published in July 2022. The Department has had to make savings across all modes of travel to meet inflationary pressures caused in part by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Despite this, the Department continues to invest very significantly in active travel and will continue to do so.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/03/2023 14:56:55 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
