Sir Hector Monro: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what proposals he has for trunk road improvements in the next three
years for Dumfries and Galloway. [8168]
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton: In addition to the final phase of the upgrading of the A74 to motorway standard, we will undertake a
major project on the A75 at the Glen. A route action plan will be carried out on the A75 to identify and prepare a programme of
further improvements along the route. On the A77, traffic management and calming measures are currently being prepared for Maybole,
Kirkoswald, Lendalfoot, Ballantrae and Stranraer. On the A76, a variety of schemes to improve visibility, junctions and access will
be carried out over the next three years, including further improvements at Enterkinfoot, and traffic-calming measures in Thornhill
and Sanquhar.

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what was the result of the Transport Council held in Brussels on 12 and 13
December. [10339]
Sir George Young: the Transport Council met in Brussels on 12 and 13 December. My noble Friend the Minister for Aviation and
Shipping represented the United Kingdom.
The Council agreed a common position on the Commission's proposals for a directive on road passenger cabotage--replacing directive
2454/92 which was annulled for technical reasons by the European Court of Justice. The UK said that it would vote against the text
when formally adopted, because much of the original proposals for further liberalisation had been removed from the text. This was
the only item on which the question of a vote arose.
The Council also agreed a common position on a proposed amendment to Council regulation 684/92, on further liberalisation of
international bus and coach services.
The Council held orientation debates on the Commission's White Paper on the future of the Community's railways, and on proposals for
the introduction of new digital tachograph technology to replace the mechanical recording devices currently required for buses and
lorries.
The Council agreed conclusions endorsing the Commission's proposals to take forward negotiations on a land transport agreement with
Switzerland. It also discussed proposals for a replacement to directive 93/89-- also annulled by the European Court of Justice on
technical grounds--on taxation and road user charges for heavy goods vehicles. It was agreed that this issue would be taken forward
under the Netherlands presidency of the EU in parallel with discussions on fuel excise duties.
The Council held an orientation debate on air traffic management in the EU, and agreed conclusions noting the urgent need to adopt
the new Eurocontrol convention. The Council agreed a common position on a proposed regulation increasing and harmonising the
liability of Community air carriers in case of accident to passengers.
The Commission reported to the Council on its negotiations on air transport relations with the United States, and gave a
presentation on proposals for a mandate to negotiate Community membership of a new European Aviation Safety Authority.
The Council reached political agreement on a proposed directive on safety standards for fishing vessels and on a proposed amendment
to directive 93/75 on reporting requirements for ships carrying dangerous or polluting goods.
The Council agreed a resolution promoting a maritime strategy for the Community. The UK opposed two elements of the strategy--on
employment-related operating subsidies, and on restrictive manning practices--which were therefore excluded from the resolution
itself and were covered separately by presidency conclusions supported by the Commission and the other delegations.
The Council discussed the recent lorry blockades in France and Greece and the question of compensation.
The Council discussed summer time, and received progress reports from the Commission on a number of other issues, which were not
debated.

the scheme to improve the A5 from Weeford to Fazeley from the trunk road programme. [8821]
Mr. Watts: The A5 from Weeford to Fazeley was one of a number of longer--term schemes withdrawn from the programme following the
Chancellor's Budget statement last November. These schemes had little chance of coming to fruition within a reasonable time scale
and were withdrawn to remove uncertainty and the damaging effects of blight on individuals and neighbourhoods.

Mr. Steen: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what conclusions he has drawn from the Transport Research Laboratory's study
of accidents involving bull bars; and if he will make a statement. [10279]
Mr. Bowis: The Transport Research Laboratory published yesterday a study of accident data which suggests that the number of
additional deaths and injuries caused by bull bars is significantly lower than had previously been assumed. Nevertheless, we cannot
accept unnecessary deaths on the road, even if in single figures. We are still very much opposed to the fitting of aggressive bull
bars and strongly support current European efforts to control their use. We shall also be studying the TRL report carefully to
assess what further action is appropriate.
A copy of the TRL study has been placed in the Library.

Mr. Watts: The 16-month public inquiry ended in October last year. Many complex issues were raised and it is necessarily taking time
for the inspector to complete his report. Once it is received my right hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for the Environment and
for Transport will consider it and issue a decision as soon as possible.
The Birmingham northern relief road is the subject of a concession agreement with a private sector concessionaire, Midland
Expressway Ltd., which is responsible for designing, building, financing and operating the road.

Mr. Congdon: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he has undertaken an accident study of the pilot priority red route in
north London since its introduction. [10471]
Mr. Bowis: The report "A Pilot Red Route Accident Study", commissioned by the Traffic Director for London, has been prepared by the
consultants TecnEcon. The report analyses casualty data covering the three years since the pilot scheme was implemented and draws
comparisons with the three yeas before the pilot scheme began. It covers the pilot scheme "rat runs" and other roads in the
immediate area which were likely to be affected as a result of improvements in traffic flow on the pilot scheme and traffic calming
measures. It concludes that the number of people injured in road accidents on or near London's pilot red route has fallen by 15.4
per cent. since the scheme became operational in 1993, and shows impressive reductions in the number of severe casualties--down 32.8
per cent.--and in the number of pedestrians injured--down 29.9 per cent. I have arranged for a copy of the report to be placed in
the Library.
