Sir Nicholas Winterton: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will include information on the cost of the outstanding
repairs to local and strategic road networks in future national road maintenance condition surveys. [206569]
Mr. Jamieson: The national road maintenance condition survey measures trends in the condition of national and local road
carriageways, footways and verges on an annual basis. It is not the most appropriate place for trends in the total costs of
outstanding repairs to highways, which include bridges and street lighting, to be published.
Information on outstanding renewals required for local authority street lighting was published in the Department's response to the
Transport Select Committee in June this year, based upon robust inventories of the lighting stock and its age and composition. More
accurate inventories of the local road and bridge infrastructure stock and condition are now being developed. Along with current
research into optimum service levels for the various classes of roads, this will allow better estimates of funding needs to be made
in the future.
The Highways Agency maintains the strategic trunk road network on the basis of minimising whole life cycle maintenance costs.
Through technical assessment of condition data, the correct maintenance is identified and carried out at the optimum time for a
particular road, ensuring the network is consistently maintained in the required condition. The road renewals budget is targeted to
meet this objective, thus avoiding the build up of repair work.

Sir Nicholas Winterton: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will undertake (a) to maintain the strategic road
network at optimum level and (b) to eliminate the repair backlog on the local road network by 2010. [206570]
Mr. Jamieson: The Highways Agency currently maintains the strategic trunk road network in accordance with minimising whole life
cycle maintenance costs while keeping the network in good serviceable condition. Correct application of the whole life cost
principle ensures that the road maintenance budget is focussed to keep the condition of the network at the required level.
It is for local authorities to eliminate the repair backlogs on their roads, although the Department strongly encourages them to do
so. In the five years since 2001-02 the Department has provided £4.2 billion in capital support towards this task. The good progress
made by local authorities is shown by the high probability of the deterioration in local roads being halted in 2004, after years of
decline.

[206136]
Mr. Jamieson: The Highways Agency's Press Release 079/04 classifies the A3 Hindhead scheme as a Regional Scheme to be progressed for
future construction (beyond March 2008). The main works are programmed to start in the financial year 2008-09 but it would be the
Highways Agency's intention to make a start on advance works in 2007-08 subject to the availability of funds.

Mr. Letwin: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on progress of the implementation by the
Highways Agency of the recommendations made in the Hyder Route Management Study of the A31/A35, with particular reference to
Morecombelake, Chideock, Winterbourne Abbas and Bridport. [205410]
Mr. Jamieson: The Route Management Study carried out between 2002-04 recommended that more detailed studies be carried out in a
number of communities along the A30/A35/A31 to develop proposals to address community issues, including safety, severance,
accessibility, noise and air quality. The studies covering Morecombelake, Chideock, Winterbourne Abbas and Bridport have now been
completed.
The detailed studies recommended numerous minor improvement works and the design of these is progressing. Works have already been
completed at Sea Road South in Bridport and a pedestrian crossing is due to be installed at Chideock in the new year. Design work on
further improvements at Sea Road South, Bridport is underway with a view to commencing work in 2005-06.
The recommendations for Morecombelake and Winterbourne Abbas are being reviewed as part of the Highways Agency's prioritisation
procedures, and will be the subject of further consideration.
The carrying out of the improvements identified in the detailed studies is subject to the availability of funding.

Mr. Dismore: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what estimate he has made of the number of road accidents involving
(a) fatalities, (b) serious injuries, (c) minor injuries and (d) damages and in which a contributory
factor was (i) alcohol, (ii) illegal drugs and (iii) legal pharmaceuticals in the last year for which figures are available; and if
he will make a statement. [204959]
Mr. Jamieson: It is provisionally estimated that there were 560 fatalities, 2,580 serious and 15,870 minor injuries in 2003 as a
result of accidents where at least one driver was over the legal alcohol limit. Information regarding damage-only accidents is not
available.
Equivalent estimates of casualties in road accidents where the use of legal or illegal drugs was a contributory factor are not
available, as routine accident reports do not currently record contributory factors to accidents. However, under a pilot scheme,
information on contributory factors to road accidents has been collected by 15 police forces. The influence of drugs was recorded as
a contributory factor in about 1 per cent. of injury accidents recorded under this pilot scheme in both 2002 and 2003.
