Mr. Steinberg
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what was the amount of inflammable cargo transported by road for each year since 1980.
Mr. Chope
The information requested is in the tab:le. Available road freight statistics do not indicate whether commodities are inflammable. However, figures are provided for petrol and petroleum products. The table shows the amount of petrol and petroleum products and all commodities transported by road. This is shown in tonnes and also in tonne kilometres, the latter taking account of the distances the commodities are moved.
