answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2017 answer text <p>A meaningful regional breakdown of infrastructure investment is difficult due to the nature of many transport projects, which traverse multiple regions. The Infrastructure Projects Authority (IPA) publishes a forward-looking pipeline of planned projects, including transport programmes by region. However, this includes a number of projects that have not been allocated to regions, and, by value, around 60% have not been allocated to an individual region because they relate to schemes that cover multiple regions or programmes that will be spread across the whole country, such as HS2.

In addition to this it is not always possible to allocate spending precisely on a project that crosses many regions, for example HS2. 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> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 26/10/2017 14:42:11 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
