Inter-ministerial Meetings (Scottish Executive)

Mr. Weir: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many inter-ministerial meetings his Department has held with the Scottish Executive since May 1999, broken down by (a) Scottish Executive department, (b) subject and (c) date. [39636]

Ms Buck: Ministers have regular dialogues with Ministerial colleagues in the Scottish Executive, discussing a wide range of issues of mutual interest. It is not our practice to disclose details of such meetings.

Leeds Supertram

Colin Challen: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has received following his announcement regarding Leeds Supertram. [42952]

Derek Twigg: Following the Secretary of State for Transport's announcement on 3 November 2005 regarding Leeds Supertram, 50 letters have been received concerning the scheme, including three from hon. Members. Five parliamentary questions have been asked which refer to Leeds Supertram.

Low-speed Zones

Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many home zones areas have been established in each of the last five years; and what the total cost was in each of those years. [40564]

Derek Twigg: Through the one-off Home Zones Challenge programme, a total of £30 million funding was allocated to individual schemes in England for the period 2001–05. This fund was not based on yearly allocations. Of the 61 schemes selected for funding, 59 have been implemented while, as a result of public votes, two were not taken beyond the public consultation stage.

Local authorities also implemented a number of other home zones using their own resources or single capital pot resources supported by Government. The Department does not have a comprehensive return listing the number of schemes or their total cost. However, local authority returns indicate that £12.6 million of the capital allocations, made available by the Department for authorities to implement small schemes according to their priorities and policies, has been spent on home zones. The breakdown is £1.9 million in 2001–02, £2.8 million in 2002–03, £2.5 million in 2003–04, £3.6 million in 2004–05 and an estimated £1.8 million in 2005–06.

Office Equipment

Mr. Weir: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many (a) personal computers, (b) laptops, (c) servers, (d) printers, (e) scanners, (f) photocopiers and (g) fax machines (i) his Department and (ii) each (A) non-departmental public body, (B) executive agency and (C) other public body for which his Department is responsible in (1) Scotland, (2) Wales and (3) each of the English regions owned in (x) 2003–04 and (y) 2004–05.

Note:
The number of information technology assets is constantly changing. There is therefore a 10 per cent. margin of error for any figures shown in this table. A more accurate inventory could not be obtained without disproportionate cost.
