answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2023 answer text <p>The data error concerned one of the figures in Table One of the Strategy, and came to light as a result of internal discussions. The table in question incorrectly included £225 million of expenditure under the heading “projected investment from April 2021 to March 2025” when this funding had in fact already been accounted for in the period April 2016 to March 2021 in Table One of the second Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy Report to Parliament published in July 2022. This correction in no way affects the statutory status of the second Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 167042 question first answered 22/03/2023 13:43:26 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
