Norman Baker: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport what percentage of journeys made to (a) Gatwick, (b) Heathrow, (c) Stansted and (d) Luton airports were made by (i) train, (ii) bus and (iii) other road vehicles in the last 12 months for which figures are available. [301291]
Paul Clark: The following table shows the percentage of journeys made to Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted and Luton airports that were made by train, bus/coach, tube, and other road vehicles in 2008.

| (1) These results are based on a departure survey only. The assumption, for weighting purposes, is that arriving and departing passengers share the same modal characteristics. (2) This includes passengers using other modes to/from airport. Source: CAA Passenger Survey | ||||
Motor Vehicles
Norman Baker: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport what the average mileage of a car in England was in each year since 1997. [301297]
Mr. Khan: The following table gives the estimated annual vehicle mileage for cars in England for from 1997 to 2008, based on data from the National Travel Survey:
| Estimated average annual car( 1) mileage, 1997-2008( 2) : England | ||
| Year( 2) | Miles | Unweighted sample size (vehicles) |
| (1 )Four wheel cars only (2) Data were reported for three-year intervals as shown prior to the expansion of the National Travel Survey sample in 2002. | ||
Motor Vehicles: Exhaust Emissions
Norman Baker: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport what the average level of carbon dioxide emissions in grammes per kilometre was for (a) new and (b) all cars in (i) the UK and (ii) each other EU member state in each year since 1997. [301295]
Mr. Khan: A fully comprehensive dataset of fuel efficiency data for new cars is only available for the UK and the EU from 2001 in accordance with EU Decision 1753/2000/EC. The EU Commission collects and reports average CO2 emission data for new cars sold across the EU by member state. Table 1 is taken from the latest EU Commission monitoring report and shows average fuel efficiency of new cars sold in the UK and other EU member states where data are available between 2001 and 2007 measured in grams of carbon dioxide per km (gCO2/km). Missing data reflect the expansion of the EU to 25 member states in 2004 and to 27 in 2007 (2007 data for Bulgaria are missing as none were submitted to the EU Commission). Data for 2008 are not yet available.
