I regret to inform the House that there was an inaccuracy in the answer I gave to a supplementary question pursuant to an oral Parliamentary Question [UIN 137500] on 17 January 2013 (Official report, Column 1012) about schemes announced in the Autumn Statement 2011 which are now under construction.

皇冠体育app correct answer is that work is underway on over 90% of the projects and that construction has already begun on 13 of them.

皇冠体育appre was also an inaccuracy in the answer I gave to a supplementary question pursuant to oral Parliamentary Question [UIN 137497] on 17 January 2013 (鈥極fficial report鈥�, column 1009). I would like to clarify that 拢600 million, not 拢650 million, has been invested in the Local Sustainable Transport Fund programme.

It is worth pointing out that, in addition to this figure, we have announced a further 拢107 million of investment specifically for cycling schemes, of which 拢42 million was announced at last year鈥檚 Autumn Statement.
