Eddington Transport Study

John Barrett
9. To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to take forward the recommendations of the “Eddington Transport Study”; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Alexander
The Government set out in the December 2006 pre-Budget report how we intend to take forward the recommendations of the Eddington Study. My Department is now reviewing its strategy and delivery processes in the light of the key conclusions of both the Eddington and Stern reports—including through the recently announced refresh of our appraisal framework. The Department will provide its detailed response to Eddington and Stern alongside the Comprehensive Spending Review.
