The local sustainable transport fund is a fund of £560 million during the rest of this Parliament. By anybody's standards, that is an enormous sum to spend on prioritising local transport, cycling, walking, bus services-if that is what local authorities want to do-bus lanes and other such traffic management matters. I would have hoped that the hon. Gentleman would welcome that commitment by the Government; it is an enormous sum for those particular objectives.
