Mr. Gordon Marsden:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment his Department has made of the regeneration effects of (a) proceeding and (b) not proceeding with the proposed upgrade of the Blackpool tram system. [173914]

Bristol Airport
Mr. Paul Marsden:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on proposals to expand the capacity of Bristol airport. [175098]
Mr. McNulty:
The Air Transport White Paper stated that the main potential for growth in the South West would be at Bristol Airport. We support the Airport's development to around 12 million passengers per annum to include a runway extension and new terminal south of the existing runway, when these are required, having due regard to the environmental impacts that would accompany its expansion.
Bus Users (London)

The table shows the percentage of users in each socio-economic group, both inside and outside London. Note that tourists are not included in this breakdown:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how much clay will be produced as a result of excavations to build the new Channel Tunnel link station at Stratford; and how it is proposed to dispose of it. [175030]

Light Rail
Mr. Damian Green:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) what assessment he has made of the levels of private sector investment in (a) commercial and (b) housing property along the lines of light rail routes in each year since 1997; [171947]
(2) what assessment he has made of the effect that light rail systems have had on urban regeneration since 1997; and if he will make a statement. [171948]
Mr. McNulty:
The Department makes no annual assessment of the levels of private investment along light rail routes. The Department part funded a programme of research on the regeneration impacts of Sheffield Supertram which concluded in 1997. This showed little effect, however the tram only became fully operational in 1995 and any significant changes would be more gradual.
Rolling Stock Companies
Mr. Truswell:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what the (a) annual capital lease charge and (b) annual heavy maintenance charge made by rollng stock companies to train operators are for (i) a two carriage class 142 Pacer train, (ii) a two carriage class 143 Pacer train, (iii) a two carriage class 156 Sprinter train, (iv) a two carriage class 150 Sprinter train and (v) a four car class 333 train. [173467]
Mr. McNulty:
The rate to be paid for a particular type of rolling stock for use on a particular franchise is a commercial matter between the rolling stock owner and the train operator.
EDUCATION AND SKILLS
Education Funding
Mr. Hoyle:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much public money was spent on education in Chorley in each year between 1992 and 1997. [164183]
Mr. Miliband:
The information requested is submitted according to local education authority areas rather than districts within an area. Chorley is a district of Lancashire Local Education Authority. The information for Lancashire LEA is as follows:
£000

199293 | 649,469

199697 | 590,313
|
199798 | 600,316

Notes:
1. The financial data are taken from Lancashire LEA's RO1 statement submitted to the Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions.
2. Net current expenditure (NCE) includes expenditure within schools and also that incurred centrally by the LEA.
3. In 199293 Net Current Expenditure after recharges was not collected on RO1. In this year Net Recurrent Expenditure is used and consequently figures for this year may not be strictly comparable with those for future years.
4. Figures are for Lancashire LEA prior to the local government reorganisation in 199899.

Notes:
1. The financial data are taken from Rochdale LEA's Section 52 Outturn Statement submitted to the DfES from 19992000 onwards and the ODPM's RO1 statement previously. Expenditure was not distinguished between pre-primary and primary sectors until the inception of the Section 52 outturn statement in 19992000. 19992000 figures reflect the return of GM schools to local authority maintenance.
2. The outturn 200203 tables captured the data in a fundamentally different way to the previous years. Categories were aligned with the Consistent Financial Reporting framework and the spending by LEAs was no longer split by school sector. Consequently the unit costs per pupil in 200203 are not strictly comparable with earlier years as they include an apportionment of LEA expenditure based on pupil numbers. 200203 data is subject to change by the LEA. Figures are rounded to the nearest £10.
3. Net current expenditure (NCE) includes expenditure within schools and also that incurred centrally by the LEA.
4. The NCE per pupil figures for pre-primary and primary relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in the pre-primary sector and maintained primary schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained nursery and primary schools sector.
5. The NCE per pupil figures for secondary relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in maintained secondary schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained secondary schools sector.
6. The NCE per pupil figures for special schools relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in maintained special schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained special schools sector.
7. Pupil data are drawn from the Annual Schools Census adjusted to be on a financial year basis.

Notes:
1. The financial data are taken from Lancashire LEA's section 52 Outturn Statement submitted to the DfES from 199900 onwards and the ODPM's RO1 statement previously. Expenditure was not distinguished between pre-primary and primary sectors until the inception of the Section 52 outturn statement in 199900. 199900 figures reflect the return of GM schools to local authority maintenance. Up to 199798 figures are for Lancashire LEA prior to local government reorganisation. From 199899 onwards parts of Lancashire LEA became Blackpool and Blackburn LEAs.
2. The outturn 200203 tables captured the data in a fundamentally different way to the previous years. Categories were aligned with the Consistent Financial Reporting framework and the spending by LEAs was no longer split by school sector. Consequently the unit costs per pupil in 200203 are not strictly comparable with earlier years as they include an apportionment of
LEA expenditure based on pupil numbers. 200203 data is subject to change by the LEA. Pupil data are drawn from the Annual Schools Census adjusted to be on a financial year basis.
3. Net current expenditure (NCE) includes expenditure within schools and also that incurred centrally by the LEAs.
4. The NCE per pupil figures for pre-primary and primary relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in the pre-primary sector and maintained primary schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained nursery and primary schools sector.
5. The NCE per pupil figures for secondary relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in maintained secondary schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained secondary schools sector.
6. The NCE per pupil figures for special schools relate the net current expenditure (after recharges) in maintained special schools to the total number of financial year pupils who are educated in the maintained special schools sector.
