Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, What assessment he has made of the implications for his transport policy of the relative changes in the cost of travelling by (a) car, (b) rail and (c) bus since 1997. (Failed OPQ)

Answer: Norman Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the implications for his transport policy of the relative changes in the cost of travelling by (a) car, (b) rail and (c) bus since 1997. [85928] Mr. Jamieson: Development of policies in the 10-year plan has been informed by extensive modelling using the National Transport Model and its forebears. This modelling takes account of the best data we have on how demand for different transport modes varies with respect to the overall cost of using those modes.
