Government data estimates that there are 6.5 million people in the UK who suffer from disability related to mobility18. Of these, the data says that 49.1% were of working age in 2011/12. For these 6.5 million people, public transport is of less value and is not so easily substituted for transport door to door in one’s own vehicle. 4.8. Impact by region Table 5 Proportion of total household expenditure on road fuel and lubricants by region 2019/20 19 Northern Ireland 6.2% Wales 4.7% East Midlands 4.4% West Midlands 4.3% North East 4.3% Eastern 4.1% South West 4.1% Yorks and Humber 4.1% North West 3.9% Scotland 3.8% South East 3.6% London 2.2% We have also analysed spending on motor fuels by region. From Table 5 it is very clear that there is a clear distinction between household spending on fuel in London and elsewhere. Londoners spend 2.2% of their expenditure on motor fuels. In all other regions spending on motor fuels is at least 50% higher as a percentage of spending than in London. In Northern Ireland, Wales and the East Midlands spending 20is more than double the percentage in London. To put this another way, more than 90% of all household spending on fuel duty is outside London. 18 https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/321594/disability-prevalence.pdf 19 Source Family Expenditure Survey 20 Source: Department for Transport statistics Energy and environment Table ENV0101 (TSGB0301) Petroleum consumption by transport mode and fuel type: United Kingdom, 1990-2020 and regional GDP data.
