Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to paragraph 3.18 of the Autumn Statement 2016, how much of the proposed £390 million funding for future transport will be spent in each region.
£290m funding for future transport has been provided to the Department for Transport for buses and taxis (£150m), the Plug-In Car Grant (£40m), charging infrastructure (£80m) and renewable fuels (£20m). £100m has been provided to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy for infrastructure for testing connected and autonomous vehicles. The exact allocation of this funding will be a decision for the departments and it is therefore not possible at this stage to be specific about the regions in which this will be spent.
