PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Transport: North of England (24 January 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if the Government will take steps to fund the Transport for the North's Strategic Transport Plan for the North to at least the same level per head of population as is invested in transport in Greater London.

Asked by:
Judith Cummins (Labour)

The Department for Transport makes investment decisions based on a rigorous and fair appraisal process that ensures spending goes to the projects and programmes where it is most needed and delivers greatest value-for-money for both taxpayers and transport users. We do not allocate funding to transport on a ‘per head of population’ basis.
