Mrs. Villiers
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if she will list each motorway and trunk road building project since 1997; and what the (a) tender cost and (b) outturn cost was in each case.

Mr. Tom Harris
The following table lists works tender/target cost against works outturn cost for each publicly funded major project (project costing over £5 million) that has been completed from June 2006 to date.

Items not procured through the main works contractor and therefore not included in the tender price are excluded from the figures shown. This normally includes the costs of land acquisition and compensation, non recoverable VAT and preparation and supervision costs. It should also be noted that while the out-turn figures shown include an allowance for all works costs final accounts have not yet been settled as they are still within the maintenance/defect period.

Mrs. Villiers
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport which road projects will receive increased funding as a result of the Comprehensive Spending Review 2007; which new road projects will be undertaken as a result of the provisions of the Comprehensive Spending Review 2007; and what the effects of the Comprehensive Spending Review 2007 will be on the Transport Innovation Fund.

Mr. Tom Harris
A detailed breakdown of programme budgets within the Department for Transport covering the three years of the CSR has not yet been made; an announcement will be made in due course.
