John McDonnell: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport at which grades there is a pay gap of more than 5 per cent. in each pay bargaining unit in his Department between (a) white and ethnic minority staff, (b) staff with disabilities and staff without disabilities and (c) full-time and part-time workers based on full-time equivalent pay. [112678]
Gillian Merron [holding answer 19 December 2006]: The following table sets out details of the pay gaps exceeding 5 per cent. in the categories set out in the question for the Department and its bargaining units.
John McDonnell: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many and what proportion of (a) male employees, (b) female employees, (c) white employees, (d) ethnic minority employees, (e) staff with disabilities, (f) staff without disabilities, (g) full-time staff and (h) part-time staff in each pay bargaining unit in his Department were awarded the highest appraisal marking in the 2005-06 reporting round. [112679]
Gillian Merron [holding answer 19 December 2006]: The information requested has been placed in the Libraries of the House.
John McDonnell: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport for how many staff in each pay bargaining unit in his Department (a) no ethnicity is recorded, (b) there is no record of whether or not they have a disability and (c) no gender is recorded in each of the last three years for which figures are available; and what proportion of all staff this represents in each category. [112680]
Gillian Merron [holding answer 19 December 2006]: The number of staff not declaring ethnicity, whether disabled or not, and gender for the whole Department is only available for two years. This is due to changes in the categories used by each Agency.

1,707 (8.88 per cent.) staff not declaring whether they were disabled or not; and
the number of unknown genders were 0.

Roadworks
Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what the 10 longest running sets of Highways Agency roadworks are in England. [108901]
Dr. Ladyman:
Major roadworks are usually carried out in phases and the most appropriate traffic
management arrangements are chosen in each case. Often these arrangements do not involve reductions in the number of lanes available for traffic. Based on the current roadworks programme and the projected completion dates, the 10 longest running sets of Highways Agency roadworks are likely to be as follows:
| Start date | End date | Location | Duration |
The times given are subject to contract conditions, weather conditions and any unforeseen circumstances. Roadworks with extensive duration periods but have just minor or no delay to the road users are not included in the list, e.g. works on the hard shoulders, verges etc.
Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how much (a) the Highways Agency and (b) each local authority has (i) been allocated and (ii) spent on road maintenance in each of the last 10 years. [108909]
