To ask the Secretary of State for Transport pursuant to the answer of 2 May 2007, Official Report, columns 1676-77W, on traffic lights, how much was spent in financial year 2006-07 on installing traffic responsive signals; and how much he expects to be spent in financial year 2007-08. (138511)

This information is not held centrally. The Department does not monitor local authority expenditure on installing traffic responsive signals. With respect to the strategic road network, most Highways Agency signals are traffic responsive, but as traffic signal installation costs are not separately recorded or forecast, it is not possible to confirm the total related expenditure.
