"*** Please note that Baker Tilly used to be subcontracted by NAO to do our year-end audit, but we were charged by NAO under notional charges. No moneys were paid by TRP direct to Baker Tilly." All figures exclude VAT. For the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, contracts with the organisations used are either managed by a contract manager or a project manager dependent on the nature of the work and its duration. End-of-contract reports are sent to the procurement team to establish that the work has been carried out to an expected level of delivery. For the agency Royal Parks, the contracts listed were short term and monitored through regular TRP/consultant meetings. There are no reports made to Buying Solutions during or at the end of the contract unless there have been exception reports raised during the use of the supplier for either good or poor performance. The agency Royal Parks would report to Buying Solutions if it experienced problems with a contractor.

Olympic Games 2012: Construction Vehicles

To ask Her Majesty's Government what monitoring arrangements the Olympic Delivery Authority has in place to measure air quality along key public roads used by construction-related road traffic accessing each of the main Olympic sites; and whether that monitoring shows that European Union limit values for particulate matter and nitrogen...

As part of the environmental impact assessment submitted in support of the outline planning applications in 2007, the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) undertook detailed air dispersion modelling in order to understand the effects of the Olympic Park development on air quality. The results showed that effects on air quality from construction-related traffic would be negligible and that year-on-year long-term concentrations of traffic-derived air pollutants would be reduced as a result of the increasing proportion of more stringent "Euro" emission-class vehicles in the national vehicle fleet. The ODA does not monitor air quality along the key public roads used by construction-related road traffic. Generally, local authorities have responsibility for monitoring the ambient air quality within their boroughs through a review and assessment process. Any significant construction activity, such as the Olympic Park development, would be taken into account in any such assessment. In addition, the ODA publishes the monitored data for noise and dust each month on the London 2012 website. The ODA does, however, have an extensive monitoring network around the Olympic Park site, but this is focused on construction activity and not road deliveries to the site. However, as the Olympic Park site is within the London low emission zone, all site delivery vehicles must comply with Euro III emission standards. The ODA also encourages its contractors’ delivery vehicles to comply with Euro IV standards. Furthermore, the ODA has committed to ensuring that 50 per cent of materials by weight will be delivered by either rail or waterways, significantly reducing the number of construction-related vehicles from the road network.

As part of funding voluntary and community sector projects, the Government will set in place routine and proportionate monitoring requirements, in line with guidance set out in the compact, the agreement between the Government and the sector. The role of the Office of the Third Sector (OTS) in the Cabinet Office is to lead work across government to support a thriving third sector (including voluntary and community sector organisations). The government strategy for the third sector is set out in the July 2007 final report of the third sector review The Future Role of the Third Sector in Social and Economic Regeneration: Final Report which builds on two key action plans published in 2006—““Social enterprise action plan—scaling new heights”” and ““Partnership in public services—an action plan for third sector involvement””. The Government have reported publicly on the progress of the measures in the two action plans one year on from their publication and will do so for the final report of the third sector review. Progress on all third sector programmes run by the Office of the Third Sector is also included in the Cabinet Office annual report and accounts. The success of the Government's work with the third sector over CSR 07 will be measured through the set of public service agreements (PSA) and the local government performance framework. There are two new third sector indicators within the local government performance framework against which every local authority area will be assessed publicly. PSA 21 ““Build more cohesive, empowered and active communities”” includes a measure of a thriving third sector, progress on this indicator will be made public. Of note in this area is that, as announced in the final report of the third sector review, the Government will invest, jointly with the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) in a new £10 million national research centre to build the evidence base on the nature and work of the third sector.

Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency: Opticians

My Lords, qualified opticians and optometrists must apply for registration declaring their ability to undertake the specific visual field test required for driver licensing purposes. Each visual field test result is monitored by DVLA’s medical group to ensure it satisfies the registration requirements. Those who are no longer able to conduct tests to DVLA requirements will cease to be used.

Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency: Opticians

My Lords, on the latter point, the spectacles that the person undergoing the test is expected to wear are those that they would be required to wear when they are driving. In fact, if you are required to wear spectacles and have passed the test wearing them, it is an offence to drive without them. On my noble friend’s first point, the conditions in which the test is taken will vary between different opticians and optometrists. However, provision is made for more than one test in circumstances where failure occurs, and the conditions in which opticians and optometrists carry out the tests are moderated. I accept what my noble friend has indicated—that a test may be conducted in less than satisfactory circumstances. However, there are rights of appeal against test failure. I can assure the House that the tests are taken seriously and are generally conducted under proper conditions.

My Lords, the noble Lord is a shining example to us all and to the rest of the country. It is a citizen's duty to notify the DVLA if their health conditions have changed in such respects as to adversely affect their driving. Their GP will tell them that this is so, and they are then under an obligation to act. I am sure that what the noble Lord is indicating is that it is a civic duty to drive safely and to ensure that one is fit to drive.

My Lords, I am well aware of the benefits of bifocal glasses; I have heard of their many reputed advantages for all who wear them. However, I emphasise that when driving a car, one needs both peripheral vision—which is examined by one aspect of the test—and the ability to read closely the speedometer and the car's other instruments. In so far as bifocals aid in that dual responsibility, they are to be worn with enthusiasm.

My Lords, I do not wear glasses very often and am singularly ill qualified to respond to this Question. However, I emphasise again that the DVLA is concerned that the test should be carried out under proper and fair conditions. As I said, all test applicants who wear glasses in order to drive would be expected to wear them for a test that is measuring their ability to drive safely.
