Local Transport Plans

Mr. Gordon Prentice: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many planning authorities have included (a) new and (b) re-opened railways in their local transport plans in the last two years. [79088]

Mr. Jamieson: Full information is not readily available in the form requested. However, in the five-year Local Transport Plans (LTPs) submitted in July 2000, and subsequent Annual Progress Reports on these, 12 local transport authorities in England outside London have included proposals for 16 rail-related major local transport schemes. Proposals are not categorised by whether they contain new or re-opened railways. In addition, all LTPs contain strategies which take account of the contribution rail can make towards their objectives.

Motorways

Mr. Greg Knight: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport for what reason the southbound carriageway of the M1 motorway was closed on 6 October; and who authorised the closure. [79134]

4 Nov 2002 : Column 5W

Mr. Spellar: On 6 October the southbound carriageway of the Ml in the area of Junction 21 had to be closed as a result of a fire in an outbuilding of a local farm, where gas cylinders containing potentially explosive gases were stored. Following consultation between Leicester County Fire Brigade and the Health and Safety Executive, a 200-metre exclusion zone was requested around the farm including a section of the motorway. Leicestershire police therefore closed the motorway until the risk of explosion had passed.

Public Transport (Disabled Access)

Linda Perham: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what obligations there are on public transport providers to provide access for passengers with disabilities. [79052]

Mr. Jamieson: Part V of the Disability Discrimination Act gives the Secretary of State powers to introduce regulations requiring public transport to be accessible to disabled people, including those who need to travel in a wheelchair. Under these regulations all new trains (including light rail and underground) which have come into service since January 1999 have been required to meet comprehensive accessibility standards. Similar regulations have applied since January 2000 to all new buses with a capacity of over 22 passengers used on local or scheduled service. Some requirements to help ambulant disabled people and those with visual impairment use coaches and smaller buses have also been introduced but full wheelchair access will not be required for these vehicles until January 2005 because of the technical and operational challenges that remain. Regulations, which came into force on 1 October this year, also place obligations on bus drivers and conductors to assist disabled passengers.

Transport infrastructure, including bus and railway stations is covered by Part III of the Disability Discrimination Act which has placed duties on service providers since October 1999 to amend policies or practices which discriminate against disabled people. From October 2004 these duties will extend to the removal of physical barriers to access.

Railway Track Condition (East Lancashire)

Mr. Gordon Prentice: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the state of the railway track in east Lancashire; and if he will make a statement. [79089]

Mr. Jamieson: This is primarily a matter for Network Rail.

Reopened Railway Costs

Mr. Gordon Prentice: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what the estimated cost per week is of re-opening a closed railway where the trackbed is in good condition. [79084]

Mr. Jamieson: It is not possible to give a generalised figure. The cost would depend on location, planned usage, the condition of existing or provision of new infrastructure, and a host of other factors. A meaningful cost estimate could only be made on a case by case basis, and would be unlikely to be best expressed as a 'cost per week'.

4 Nov 2002 : Column 6W

Road Accidents

Mr. Hammond: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if the Government oppose EU proposals to introduce a presumption of guilt on the part of the motorist in all cases of motorist/cyclist accidents. [79037]

Mr. Jamieson: Proposals for a fifth motor insurance directive are at an early stage. It is not clear that a presumption of guilt on the part of the motorist is intended. The proposal states that there is no intention to 'prejudice the civil liability of the pedestrian or cyclist or the level of award for damages in a specific accident, under national legislation'.

Road Networks

Sir Nicholas Winterton: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has for the 2002 National Road Maintenance Condition Survey to include the cost of outstanding repairs on the (a) local and (b) strategic road networks. [78897]

Mr. Jamieson: The 2002 National Road Maintenance Condition Survey is being conducted on the same basis as in 2001 and previous years. Results will be published in April 2003.

Trust Port Boards

Tim Loughton: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport further to his answer of 29 October, Ref 78170, if he will list appointments he has made to trust port boards since January 2000 involving representatives of local authorities. [79155]

Mr. Jamieson: Five such appointments have been made since January 2000, three to the Shoreham Port Authority, and two to the Milford Haven Port Authority as detailed in the following table.

Port authority	Appointed
Shoreham
Councillor Bob Carden	January 2002
Councillor Pat Hawkes	January 2002
Councillor Neil Parkin	January 2002
Milford Haven
Councillor Eric Harries	February 2000
Councillor John Allen-Mirehouse	April 2002

ENVIRONMENT, FOOD AND RURAL AFFAIRS

Correspondence

Mr. Wiggin: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs when he will reply to the letter from the hon. Member for Leominster of 13 September, regarding the River Lugg Internal Drainage Board. [78603]

Mr. Morley: I regret that the Department has no record of receiving this correspondence.

Dog Licensing Scheme

Mr. Laurence Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what plans she has to introduce a dog licensing scheme for owners; and if she will make a statement. [76954]

Alun Michael: This Government have considered the options for introducing a dog licensing scheme for owners very carefully. However, at present the Government are not planning to introduce a dog licensing scheme for dog owners. Defra does promote responsible dog ownership through byelaws, education and publicity.

Farm Mapping

Mr. Liddell-Grainger: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the level of accuracy is of the digital mapping of farms across the UK. [78745]

Alun Michael: The underlying digital mapping used for the digitisation of the IACS registered fields is the Ordnance Survey's latest digital product known as MasterMap. The accuracy levels are at least as good as those for the National Grid series previously used and the product is available from the Ordnance Survey.

Fish Stocks

Mr. Hayes: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what analysis her Department has made of the share of Community fish stocks, by species, that fall under UK (a) 12 and (b) 200 mile/median line limits. [77252]

Mr. Morley: No such analysis has been carried out since for the most part the stock assessments are carried out by international scientists, not in relation to national waters, but by total ICES area. In any case, almost all of the main stocks fished in UK waters spend time also in the waters of other countries.

Fisheries

Ann Winterton: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what role she proposes for English regional assemblies in the governance of fisheries out to 12 nautical miles from the baseline. [77644]

Mr. Morley: None. The powers and functions of elected regional assemblies are fully set out in the regional governance White Paper XYour Region, Your Choice" (Cm 5511). These proposals have no implications for the governance of fisheries either within or outside 12 nautical miles from the baseline.

Flood and Coastal Defence

Mr. Michael Foster: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will list the local authorities who (a) have and (b) have not produced a policy statement under High Level Targets for flood and coastal defence. [77618]

Mr. Morley: Defra and the Environment Agency have received policy statements from 219 of the 354 local authorities expected to produce them. We have

received 12 statements since the report on High Level Target 1 was compiled in April 2002; however there are still 135 outstanding statements.
