uin	112580
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2017 answer text <p>The Department for Transport has worked closely with local authorities and others in the development and delivery of transport policy in the North for many years, for example through rail and road investment planning. This includes in relation to HS2, local transport funding arrangements, rail franchising, devolution deals and provision of local public transport services.</p><p>To supplement this and support the Northern Powerhouse, in June 2015 the Department for Transport created the Regional Transport Strategies Directorate. This team has developed the legislation to allow Transport for the North to become a statutory body, and is responsible for funding Transport for the North and working with them to coordinate future investments. An example of the latter was the Chancellor’s announcement in October of £300m for provision for junctions to ensure that HS2 infrastructure can accommodate future Northern Powerhouse Rail services.</p><p>Within the Department there are officials focusing directly on Transport for the North and the Northern Powerhouse, officials with relevant expertise who take part in specific road, rail or other investment projects, and officials who are deployed as needed on an ad hoc basis. It is therefore not possible to provide a precise overall number. These staff are based in London and in Manchester.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/11/2017 12:16:41 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

In addition to this it is not possible to allocate spending precisely on a project that crosses and benefits many regions, for example HS2.</p><p> </p><p>This Department focuses on delivering outcomes for transport users, not on spending per head. An analysis of regional spend per head of resident population would not, for example, take into account the pressure that large numbers of commuters and visitors from outside of a region can add to a region’s transport networks. In addition, larger and more densely built-up areas tend to make greater use of mass public transport systems. For example, in 2015/16 there were 537 million rail journeys within the London area compared to 142 million in the North. Investment by the Department is made based on a fair and rigorous process that ensures that spending goes where it is most needed.</p><p>The Infrastructure and Projects Authority’s National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline (NICP) publishes a forward look of transport capital investment for 2016-17 to 2020-21. However, due to methodological challenges, the majority of public sector transport capital investment is not allocated to specific English regions. It therefore does not provide a complete picture on spend per capita by region.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 17/11/2017 11:30:07 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
