The Government continues to call on both parties to engage in talks and resolve the dispute.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 04/02/2019 14:44:28 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/02/2019 answer text <p>Figures on public sector expenditure at a regional level are part of the Government’s Country and Regional Analysis (CRA) statistics.</p><p> </p><p>The latest CRA statistics, published by HM Treasury on 20th November 2018, include total public expenditure on transport per capita on a regional basis from 2013-14 up to 2017-18, and are published at:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/country-and-regional-analysis" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/country-and-regional-analysis</a>.</p><p><strong> </strong></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><strong> </strong></p><p>When comparing expenditure across regions a number of factors should be considered. For example, when expenditure is presented on a “per head of population”(or “per capita”) 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, though these will generate fares income which contributes to their operating costs.</p><p> </p><p>Statistics for public sector capital expenditure by region are given in Table 1 below.

The EU Commission has put forward a proposal on basic reciprocal market access for EU and UK hauliers which we have welcomed. If this was not secured then we are confident we would secure market access for hauliers through a combination of ECMT permits, bilateral agreements and unilateral arrangements. Such arrangements could also be used to supplement any EU-wide proposals on market access. We have also put in place plans on driver licensing, insurance, trailer registration and permit allocation to ensure UK hauliers can continue to operate in the event of a no deal.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 04/02/2019 17:01:10 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
