Road Traffic Offences
Mr. Drew: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what powers are available to order an individual convicted of a road traffic offence to undergo treatment to overcome sleep deprivation symptoms. [84163]
Dr. Ladyman:
There are no such specific powers. However, section 94(1) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 requires any person diagnosed with any condition that may make them unfit to drive, including sleep-related disorders and irrespective of whether they have been convicted of an offence, to inform the DVLA. Section 22 of The Road Traffic Offenders Act also places an obligation on the court to notify DVLA, if in any
proceedings for a motoring offence it appears that the accused may be suffering from a medical condition that affects his ability to drive.
On notification, an assessment will be made of the person’s fitness to continue to hold a driving licence. As part of the supporting information needed to retain or reinstate a licence, evidence of symptom improvement (usually as the result of treatment) is required.

Mr. Ellwood: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how much money was made available for transport-related projects in the South West in 2005-06. [82124]

The document identifies a planned total of £541 million of capital public expenditure on transport for the South West region in 2005-06. It identifies a planned total of £515 million of current public expenditure on transport for the South West region in 2005-06.
