Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much the Government has allocated to transport capital infrastructure projects in the North West of England in each year since 2015.

Figures on public sector spend at a regional and national level are part of the Government’s Country and Regional Analysis (CRA) statistics. These statistics attempt to allocate the spending according to where the benefits of that spend are accrued.

Statistics for public capital expenditure on transport for the North West of England for the years 2014-15 and 2015-16 are given below:

2014-15: £1.355 billion

2015-16: £1.853 billion

These figures include spend on transport by all public sector organisations (including Local Authorities and Public Corporations).
