Transport And The Comprehensive Spending Review 2007
EDM number 2500 in 2005-06, proposed by Graham Stringer on 04/07/2006.
That this House notes the Government's achievement in the last comprehensive spending review in working with the Mayor to agree a £10 billion, five year investment programme for Transport for London; further notes the consequent success in driving up public transport usage in London and contributing to key Government objectives on sustainability and social inclusion; and now calls on the Government to use the opportunity presented by the Comprehensive Spending Review 2007 to raise significantly the level of spending on public transport in the UK's other metropolitan areas in order to support their continuing and sustainable economic regeneration, and to address the gap in spending per head on transport that has now opened up between London and the UK's other major conurbations.
This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
