Public Land Transfers

Lady Hermon: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much public land in Northern Ireland, has been transferred to the private sector in each of the past 10 years for which figures are available; and at what cost. [64977]

Mr. Hanson: It has not been possible to provide information for the 10-year period as recovery of the required information would be possible only at disproportionate cost.

The tables detail the information requested for the five-year period from April 2001 to March 2006.

Table A: All organisations except NIHE
Period	Number of lots sold( 1)	Total area (Ha)	Total of sale prices (£)
1 April 2001 to 31 March 2002	134	79.44	28,140,738
1 April 2002 to 31 March 2003	162	746.99	26,200,374
1 April 2003 to 31 March 2004	135	2,554.71	21,989,858
1 April 2004 to 31 March 2005	155	86.40	96,550,721
1 April 2005 to 31 March 2006	192	86.47	73,336,411
Total	778	3,554.01	252,617,615
(1) In a very small number of cases the information on the "number of lots" or the "total area" is not available, but the total of sale prices is complete in all cases.

Table B: NIHE( 1)
	Total of sale prices (£)
1 April 2001 to 31 March 2002	2,650,738
1 April 2002 to 31 March 2003	3,052,978
1 April 2003 to 31 March 2004	1,714,824
1 April 2004 to 31 March 2005	1,728,450
1 April 2005 to 31 March 2006	3,637,524
Total	12,784,514
(1) The Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE) is unable to provide any lot and area details, expect at disproportionate cost. NIHE data are shown separately in Table B.

Roads

Mark Durkan: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much the Department for Regional Development spent on structural maintenance for the road network in counties (a) Tyrone, (b) Derry and (c) Fermanagh in each of the last five years; and how much the Department has budgeted for structural maintenance in (i) the current year and (ii) the next two years in these counties. [76299]

David Cairns: The Chief Executive of Roads Service (Dr. Malcolm McKibbin) has been asked to write to the hon. Gentleman in response to this question.

Letter from Dr. Malcolm McKibbin, dated 13 June 2006:

You recently asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland a Parliamentary Question about how much the Department for Regional Development spent on structural maintenance for the road network in counties (a) Tyrone, (b) Deny and (c) Fermanagh in each of the past five years; and how much the Department has budgeted for structural maintenance in (i) the current year and (ii) the next two years in these counties. I have been asked to reply as this issue falls within my responsibility as Chief Executive of Roads Service.

Firstly I should advise that whilst Roads Service does not maintain details of expenditure on a county basis, such information is available on a district council basis. The table below details Roads Service’s expenditure, for the five-year period 2000/01 to 2004/05, on structural maintenance for the nine district councils whose boundaries straddle Counties Tyrone, Londonderry and Fermanagh. Expenditure details for 2005/06 year are not yet available.
