To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how much of the Highways Agency's (a) capital and (b) revenue budget was spent on roads which fall completely within (i) the boundary of a single local authority and (ii) the boundary of a single regional development agency in each year from 2001-02 to 2005-06. (114878)

The reporting systems of the Highways Agency do not provide information on a local authority or regional basis.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many new roads were built in Essex in each of the last five years. (115882)

Roads can be built by the Highways Agency, the local transport authority (Essex county council), or private developers; the Secretary of State does not have access to a complete or central record. The following information is sourced from “Essex Traffic Monitoring Report 2005”, published by Essex county council in April 2006, and includes significant schemes built both by the authority and the Highways Agency.
