6 July 2009 : Column 540W

The Department for Transport has made no estimate of the number of personal transporters which are in use on public highways.

Road Traffic: Census

Mr. Lancaster: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport what information his Department holds on (a) the cost of the recent Milton Keynes council traffic census and (b) the number of motorists questioned over the period of the census. [283683]

Mr. Khan: The road traffic counts carried out by the Department for Transport for the National Road Traffic Estimates simply count the number of vehicles passing a defined point. They do not involve questioning motorists or interfering with the traffic flow.

The cost of the individual surveys cannot be provided as the information is commercially confidential.

Roads: Accidents

Mr. Jenkins: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport what recent assessment has been made of the effectiveness of the West Midlands Casualty Reduction Scheme in reducing numbers of road traffic accidents in that region. [283847]

Paul Clark: The Department for Transport has not made a specific, recent assessment of the effectiveness of the West Midlands safety enforcement camera partnership (also known as the West Midlands Casualty Reduction Scheme), which covers the West Midlands metropolitan area.

In 2008 the West Midlands metropolitan area authorities reviewed their overall progress delivering their second local transport plan, including in respect of road safety. The Government office for the West Midlands region, in conjunction with the Department for Transport, commented on this review in a letter dated 9 January 2009. This can be viewed at:

Joan Ryan: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport how many road fatalities there have been in each parliamentary constituency in Greater London in each of the last five years for which figures are available. [284490]

Paul Clark: The numbers of fatalities in each parliamentary constituency in Greater London for each year from 2004 to 2008 are shown in the following table:
