It is notoriously hard to attribute the benefit and location of public investment in transport infrastructure accurately. Figures on public sector expenditure at a regional level are part of the Government\u2019s Country and Regional Analysis (CRA) statistics. These provide statistical allocations of public spending according to where the benefits of that spend are accrued, although the complexity of transport networks means that it is not always possible or appropriate to allocate transport spending on a \u2018who benefits\u2019 basis. Where this is the case, expenditure has been apportioned based on actual regional spend rather than where the benefit lies.<\/p>
In addition, the investment profile of major transport spending can be extremely lumpy, further distorting the figures. Finally, the benefits from spend on transport interventions will often accrue to people far beyond the residents of the immediate local area or region. This is particularly the case for spending on railways, which connect cities and regions across the country and deliver broader benefits beyond the region concerned.<\/p>
<\/p>
In the case of London, the city receives a substantial number of daily commuters and visitors, both domestically and internationally, who use and benefit from its public transport networks. Much of the investment made in London benefits people across the U.K.<\/p>
<\/p>
With these provisions in mind, the latest CRA statistics, published by HM Treasury on 20th November 2018, show that 26% of the Department for Transport\u2019s total expenditure in 2017/18 was in the London region.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department for Transport makes investment decisions based on a rigorous and fair appraisal process designed to ensure spending goes to the projects and programmes where it delivers greatest value for both taxpayers and passengers.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-01-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-01-14T13:51:26.123Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-01-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Transport: Greater London"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of his Department's budget is spent in London.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/350", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir John Hayes"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Holland and The Deepings"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Sir John Hayes"} ], "uin" : "205196"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1035255", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1035255/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government seeks to ensure equal access to air travel for all. Through the recently launched Aviation 2050 consultation the Department is considering a new Passenger Charter that will raise standards and enhance services for passengers, including disabled people and those with reduced mobility. This includes increased uptake of disability awareness training programmes for ground handlers, and addressing the difficulties faced when stowing wheelchairs in the hold of a plane.<\/p>
