To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) if she will publish on the roads section of her Department's website a list of each of the road schemes approved and funded by her Department with (a) the costs of each scheme at approval, (b) the latest ministerially approved costs and (c) the estimated carbon dioxide impact of each; (180640)

[holding answer 21 January 2008]: We are currently reviewing the information provided about major road schemes on the Department's and Highways Agency's websites, including information on scheme cost estimates. I can confirm that it is our intention to provide website information on the cost estimates for all local authority and Highways Agency schemes which have received a funding approval.

I can also confirm that it is our intention to publish the latest appraisal summary table, as well as other relevant information for each local authority major scheme currently at an approval stage on the Department's website. Appraisal summary tables for Highways Agency schemes are already available within the project pages on the agency's website. Information on the carbon impacts of each scheme is provided in the scheme's appraisal summary table.
