London,UK -Road Transport, by Roanna Avison -12 November 2007: -- About £20bn of the government's transport budget for 2014-19 has yet to be allocated. Speaking at the Freight Transport Association's annual dinner Transport Minister Jim Fitzpatrick said he expected to be inundated with ideas now this fact had been made public... He was responding to a speech by FTA president Andrew Haines, who called on the government to recognise the importance of freight movements by investing urgently in the transport infrastructure...

We have a firm commitment to engage more fully with [the transport sector]"... ( Photo from BigLorryBlog by Julie Thomas )
