Grant Shapps: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport how much the Government Car and Despatch Agency spent on (a) London congestion charge (i) payments and (ii) fines and (b) fines for (i) speeding and (ii) parking in each year since 2008. [316500]
Paul Clark: The Government Car and Despatch Agency (GCDA) has paid the following fines and London congestion charges:
| £ | |||
| Congestion charges | Congestion charge fines | Total parking fines | |
The Agency has paid no speeding fines.
Parking restrictions within central London may make it impossible sometimes to deliver secure or sensitive documents to buildings or allow people with a high public profile to attend or leave buildings without putting themselves or secure documents at risk. In these cases GCDA will pay the fine and recharge these costs to the customer as appropriate.
Highways Agency: Finance
Mrs. Villiers: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport how much the Highways Agency spent on each of its ongoing major maintenance projects in the latest period for which figures are available; and how much it plans to spend on each such project in each of the next three years. [316848]
Chris Mole: The financial year of 2008-09 is the most recent period for which expenditure on major maintenance is available.
In that year the Highways Agency delivered some 2,000 projects within this programme which includes reconstruction, overlay, resurfacing of road pavement and maintenance of roadside assets. It also includes inspections, parapet and structural repair as well as technology and asset renewal.
Therefore, it is not practicable to release costs of each project. In 2008-09 spend on these projects totalled £589 million. In 2009-10 we estimated in our Business Plan planned spend of £800 million on major maintenance projects.
The 2010-11 plans are being finalised and spending in the following years is subject to the outcome of any future Spending Review.
Mrs. Villiers: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport how much the Highways Agency spent on each of its ongoing routine maintenance projects in the latest period for which figures are available; and how much it plans to spend on each such project in each of the next three years. [316849]
Chris Mole: The financial year of 2008-09 is the most recent period for which expenditure on routine maintenance is available.
It is not practicable to release costs of individual routine maintenance works as this comprises many hundreds of projects and much of this activity is paid for through lump sum-based contracts.
Routine maintenance includes vital elements of the Highways Agency's maintenance regime to ensure it meets its statutory obligations. It includes activities such as gully emptying, accident damage repairs, cleaning signs, defect repairs, winter and technology maintenance.
In 2008-09 spend on routine maintenance totalled £325 million. In 2009-10 we estimated in our Business Plan planned spend of £300 million on routine maintenance.
The 2010-11 plans are being finalised and the following years are subject to the outcome of any future Spending Review.
Mrs. Villiers: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport how much funding the Highways Agency has allocated for (a) routine and (b) major maintenance in each region in each of the next three years. [316854]
Chris Mole: Allocations for 2010-11 are currently being finalised and the future years are subject to the outcome of any future spending review.
Mrs. Villiers: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport with reference to the answer to the hon. Member for Lewes (Norman Baker) of 24 November 2008, Official Report, columns 2098-99W, what total control budget has been allocated for Highways Agency major schemes in (a) development and (b) options stages in 2009-10. [316899]
