Member for Brentwood and Ongar of 18 December 2007, Official Report, column 1324W, on domestic waste: waste disposal, what the notional monetary value was of the efficiency gain recorded by moving to a fortnightly collection of household rubbish for each of the local authorities listed in the forward and backward look statements.

Robert Neill:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government pursuant to the answer to the hon. Member for Brentwood and Ongar of 18 December 2007, Official Report, column 1324W,
on Domestic Waste: Waste Disposal, how moving to a fortnightly collection of household rubbish from weekly collection generates a (a) cashable and (b) non-cashable efficiency gains for the purposes of inclusion in her Department's annual efficiency statements. [191665]
Mr. Dhanda: A legitimate efficiency gain is generated when a council restructures service provision to provide a more efficient service to the same client group in a way that maintains overall output and service quality.
Councils are required to note the definition of efficiency set out in ‘Measuring and Reporting Efficiency Gains’:
If the net costs of waste collection fall, while service quality is maintained, this leads to a cashable gain. When outputs or service quality associated with waste collection improves for the same net cost, this leads to a non-cashable gain.
Fire Services: Finance
Mr. Drew: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what allocation was made to each fire authority for (a) fire control, (b) fire link and (c) new dimensions programmes in each year since 2002, broken down by region. [195408]
Mr. Dhanda: The information requested is listed in the following tables.
