Highways Agency

Mr. Carmichael
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what the level was of (a) traffic, (b) carbon dioxide emissions and (c) road traffic accidents (i) predicted before and (ii) recorded after construction of each Highways Agency scheme since 1997.

Dr. Ladyman
The Highways Agency is currently working on updating tables which will provide current information available on traffic, carbon dioxide and road traffic accidents. This work is expected to be completed in December.

I will write to the hon. Member with the information requested when it is available and place a copy of my letter in the Libraries of the House.
