Departmental Property

Mr. Weir: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what property has been lost or stolen from her Department since 1997; and what the cost of replacement was. [187467]

Jim Fitzpatrick: The Department for Transport was formed in 2002 and includes seven agencies, a shared service centre and the central Department, with a total staff of over 19,000.

The information requested is not held centrally. It has been estimated that, due to the broad scope of this question and the decentralised and devolved structure of the Department, to obtain it would incur disproportionate costs.

I would also refer the hon. Member to the answer given today to the hon. Member for Brent, East (Sarah Teather) (UIN 184341).

Mr. Drew: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether her Department has created a Property Asset Register (PAR); and whether a PAR Board has been established. [190931]

Jim Fitzpatrick: The Department for Transport Property Assets Board (PAB) was established on 21 March 2006.

Work is under way on developing a single property asset register. This follows a PAB recommendation to review property recording arrangements across the Department with the intention being to identify a pan-DfT solution that will link DfT data held on the Office of Government Commerce electronic Property Mapping Service (e-PIMS) to a geographical information system mapping base. This will enable viewing and interrogation of landed estate on electronic Ordnance Survey maps simultaneously with records on e-PIMS. The findings from this project will be published in due course.

Departmental Retirement

Mr. Drew: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what correspondence has been received from the trade unions representing staff in her Department on partial retirement; when her Department replied to this letter; and when her Department’s management will meet the unions to discuss partial retirement. [190930]

5 Mar 2008 : Column 2537W

Jim Fitzpatrick: Trade unions initially wrote to the Human Resources Department in the centre Department about partial retirement on 3 December 2007. The centre Department responded to trade unions by e-mail on 12 February 2008 and wrote again on 28 February, following finalisation of the partial retirement policy and guidance by civil service pensions in mid-February. At present, there have been no meetings between trade unions and management in the centre Department. In the Department’s agencies, the Highways Agency met with trade unions on 12 February and a meeting is planned for mid-March with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency. Discussions in other agencies will happen as partial retirement processes are developed.

Departmental Translation Services

Mr. Paul Goodman: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what documents her Department, associated agencies and non-departmental public bodies translate for people in the UK who do not speak English. [187984]

Jim Fitzpatrick: The DFT and its Executive Agencies have translated the following documents:
