[holding answer 8 January 2007]: Information on public (central and local government) and private funding for transport infrastructure in Great Britain is published in Table 1.14 of ““Transport Statistics Great Britain (TSGB)””, which is available on the Department for Transport’s website (www.dft.gov.uk) and is available in the Libraries of the House. These figures cover both new construction and structural maintenance, but the available expenditure data does not enable new road construction to be identified as a separate category.Information on expenditure on road maintenance for England and Wales is available from Tables 8.2 and 8.3 of the ““National Road Maintenance Condition Survey 2005””, also available on the Department for Transport’s website (www.dft.gov.uk) and the Libraries. Data for Scotland are published in Table 11.2 and 11.3 ““Scottish Transport Statistics 2006 Edition”” by the Scottish Executive, available on www.scotland.gov.uk. These sources identify expenditure on structural maintenance, but overlaps in definition mean that these sources can not be combined with the investment data from Table 1.14 to estimate total expenditure on road building and maintenance.

Of the 29 conventionally funded schemes formerly in the targeted programme of improvements (TPI), that have opened over the last four years, 16 are forecast to cost more than provided for, and 13 are forecast to cost less. The total cost of those schemes is estimated at £888 million, some £12 million less than programmed.When faced with potential cost overruns, the Agency's approach is to work with the supply chain to drive down costs of construction.Where that is not possible, cost increases are met from a Strategic Reserve contained within the risk allowance for the TPI. Where cost savings are made, these are fed back into the Strategic Reserve.
