Mr. Blizzard: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions, pursuant to his answer of 15 December
1999, Official Report, column 187W, on utilities' standards of compliance, if he will quantify the shortfall in utilities compliance
with the statutory code of practice on reinstatement of highways and footways. [103579]
Mr. Hill: There are no central records of street works reinstatements or of inspections of works. So far as individual sites are
concerned, it is for the undertaker concerned to put right any defects in reinstating the street that may have occurred. Such
defects are likely to be discovered as the result of street works inspections by the local highway authority, who have powers under
the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 to require remedial works to be carried out at the undertaker's expense.
The research project carried out by the Transport Research Laboratory, referred to in my answer of 15 December, examined only a
sample of reinstatements undertaken mostly during the mid-1990s. While this showed where improvements needed to be made, it is not
possible to extrapolate from it reliable figures for reinstatement defects for the country as a whole.
If there is any particular street works issue that has prompted this question, I suggest that my hon. Friend might care to write to
me about it.

Ms Beverley Hughes: Other than in exceptional circumstances, the replacement of lighting columns should be treated as revenue
expenditure. Provision for this expenditure is made in Standard Spending Assessments and reflected in the distribution of Revenue
Support Grant. Capital allocations made on the basis of local transport plans (replacement for the Transport Policies and Programme
system) should not be used for the maintenance of lighting columns.

Mr. Dobbin: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what was the outcome of the Transport
Council held in Brussels on 9-10 December; and if he will make a statement. [102635]
Mr. Hill: The Transport Council met in Brussels on 9-10 December. My right hon. and noble Friend Lord Macdonald of Tradeston
represented the United Kingdom.
The Council reached political agreement on a package of three draft directives, which take the opening of the internal market for
rail services a significant step further. The package will amend Directives 91/440 and 95/18 and replace Directive 95/19. It will:
provide open access for rail freight operators to a Trans-European Rail Freight Network (TERFN), which includes all major terminals
and ports; broaden the scope of existing provisions for separation of accounts and certain essential functions between
infrastructure management and train service operations; extend Community-wide recognition of train operators' licences to all
railway undertakings established in the Community; and establish rules for allocating capacity on railway infrastructure and
charging for its use. Conclusions were also adopted on improving interoperability and alleviating rail bottlenecks
The Commission gave a progress report to Council on the definition phase of the Galileo satellite navigation project, including a
report on discussions with the US and Russia. Lord Macdonald expressed the UK's disappointment at the pace of work on public-private
financing and cost benefit analysis. He said that more work was needed to enable decisions to be taken at the end of 2000 on the
future development of satellite navigation in Europe.
There was a debate on the establishment of a European Aviation Safety Authority. The Commission proposed that the new authority
should be set up as a Community agency. The UK and some other member states argued that an international body was preferable, as the
Council had previously agreed. It would be genuinely pan-European and would have the support of the aviation industry. Following the
debate, the Presidency asked the Commission to produce an analysis of its proposal for a Community agency, but also to begin
exploratory talks with third countries.
The Commission gave a presentation to the Council on air traffic management in Europe. Referring to lack of ATM capacity as a cause
of increasing delays, and to the need for greater cooperation between states, the Commission proposed centralised management of a
"Single European Sky". The Commissioner, Mrs. de Palacio, proposed that she should chair a high level group of member states'
representatives, to study the issue. It would aim to report to the Transport Council in June 2000.
The Council discussed aviation noise problems. The Commission reported on the latest developments in the International Civil
Aviation Organisation (ICAO) on international standards and on its recent consultations with the United States. The Council
reaffirmed its commitment to the ICAO process, and repeated that, if the outcome was successful and met the EU's objectives,
existing Community legislation could be replaced by new international rules if these were more favourable. The Commission was
invited to look at the issue urgently and propose solutions.
The Commission presented a study on the economic impact of the draft directive on ferry manning, which would ensure that conditions
for third country crew members on intra-EC ferry services were at least as favourable as those of EC crew members. The study
suggested that the impact would be negligible. The Commission's view remained that the directive would protect jobs in the EU. The
UK and some other member states welcomed the report and strongly supported the proposal, which was first put forward during the UK
Presidency. The Council will return to the issue at a later date.
The Council held a further debate on proposals for the extension of working time provisions to road transport. There remains
disagreement between member states on fundamental issues, including application to the self-employed. Following the debate, the
Presidency concluded that the Council should continue to look for solutions.
There was a progress report from the Commission on negotiations with ten Central and Eastern European countries on extension of the
aviation single market.
The Council adopted Resolutions on the promotion of short sea shipping and on ways to encourage the greater use of intermodal
freight transport. It also adopted a mandate authorising the Commission to commence air transport negotiations with Cyprus.
There were also Commission reports on: indicators on transport and the environment; the recent report of the forum on barriers to
innovation in transport, which aimed to produce an action plan by the end of 2000; Community accession to Eurocontrol, on which the
Commission hoped that an Accession protocol could be signed at the MATSE VI Conference of aviation Ministers on 27 January; the
recent aviation open skies conference in Chicago; and a Commission Communication on air transport and the environment.

Mr. David Taylor: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will announce the allocation of
capital resources for expenditure on local transport infrastructure in 2000-01. [103349]
Mr. Hill: This is the second year of the three-year £2.4 billion package for local transport under the Comprehensive Spending
Review, including £700 million of additional expenditure.
The total allocation for 2000-01 will be £754.9 million, which will provide for major improvements to local transport
infrastructure.
Schemes approved or provisionally approved include innovative proposals for integrating public transport, providing greater travel
choice; new bypasses to take through traffic away from local communities, improving their quality of life.
We have also made provision of £301 million for highway maintenance--up 24 per cent. on this year's figure and in line with our
commitment to reverse previous cuts in this area. In addition, we have increased general allocation for public transport, minor road
improvements, walking, cycling and safety schemes.
In addition, we are providing an extra £18 million for local authorities to improve public transport ahead of the introduction of
congestion charging or workplace parking schemes.
Local Transport Plans replace the Transport Policies and Programmes regime, and are the cornerstone of our integrated transport
policy. They provide for a longer-term, more strategic approach and greater certainty of funding for Local Authorities.
Copies of the Press Notice, containing a full analysis of the settlement, have been placed in the Library of the House. They have
also been placed in Members' mail boxes in the Members' Post Office counter.

Statistics are not available for road accident deaths involving drugs or both alcohol and drugs. The Department has recently
completed a three-year sample survey of the incidence of drugs in road accident fatalities for which interim results were released
in February 1998. These showed that 6 per cent. of all road users (including drivers, riders, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists)
had measurable traces of medicinal drugs and 16 per cent. had traces of illicit drugs (mainly cannabis). The results also showed
that 19 per cent. of the sample of drivers and riders killed had taken illicit drugs and consumed alcohol over the legal limit. A
full report on the research will be available next year.
The presence of drugs in an accident victim is not evidence of accident causation, although there may be an association. The picture
is further complicated by cannabis, because traces can remain in the body for four weeks or more after use, long after it has ceased
to have any effect.

Mr. Kidney: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions (1) if he will establish a research group

(2) assessment he has made of the number of road crashes in which sleep is a contributory factor; and if he will make a statement;

(3) what advice he plans to issue to drivers to reduce the incidence of sleep-related road crashes; [102505]
(4) what research his Department is undertaking into sleep-related road crashes; [102504]
Mr. Hill: The Department began a major research programme on fatigue in December 1992, conducted at Loughborough University. The
first phase included a comprehensive study of HGV and car drivers. The results suggested that, for car drivers in particular,
tiredness is a principal factor in around 10 per cent. of accidents.
The next phase of the research looked at the relative effectiveness of possible counter measures to tiredness, to ensure that
drivers have the best possible advice on how to minimise the risk of a sleep-related accident. Recommendations derived from this
work have since been incorporated into the Highway Code.
Much of the research undertaken in the road safety area has relevance in rail, air and maritime situations and vice-versa. It is
also significant that leading experts in this field are very aware of each other's work. A further phase of the Department's
research, begun in September, is reviewing successful measures that have been employed elsewhere in the world and in different
operating environments. This includes a requirement to develop a targeted programme of publicity and education to counter driver
fatigue. When this is completed in September 2000, the Government will consider what action to take, including whether to commission
further research.

Mr. Hill: I have asked the Chief Executive of the Highways Agency, Mr. Peter Nutt, to reply to my hon. Friend.
Letter from David York, on behalf of Mr. Peter Nutt, to Mr. Tom Cox, dated 15 December 1999:
The Minister for Transport for London, Keith Hill, has asked me to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about major road
improvement schemes that are now taking place in Greater London. I am replying in the absence of the Chief Executive, Peter Nutt.
Landscaping work is being carried out on the A12 Hackney M11 Link Road which opened to traffic on 6{th} October. The final section
of the A13 West of Heathway to Mardyke scheme opened to traffic on 14 December and work continues on the London Primary Route
Network Signing project to redesign and replace direction signs on London's primary routes within the M25 corridor. This work is
being carried out in three phases because of its complexity and geographical spread. Two of the phases, covering East London and
South West London, will be completed shortly, whilst work on the third phase, covering North West London, is expected to be
completed in Autumn 2000.
There are also a number of schemes in the pipeline. We are nearly ready to award a contract for the A13 Thames Gateway DBFO project
which includes improvements at Ironbridge-Canning Town, the A13/A117 junction and Movers Lane junction. Subject to the completion of
the necessary statutory procedures, it could also include improvements to the A13/A117 Prince Regent Lane junction.
Detailed design work for the A40 Western Avenue bridge replacement scheme will start next year and we are preparing tender documents
for the A23 Coulsdon Inner Relief Road improvement scheme so that it could start in early 2002. There are also four proposals to
improve the A406 North Circular Road at Bounds Green, Regents Park and Golders Green and the A205 at Catford Town Centre. These
schemes will transfer to the Greater London Authority (GLA) who will study the role of these roads as part of their development of a
transport strategy for London. It will be for the GLA to decide whether or not to take the schemes forward.
One local authority major improvement is also underway, the A240 North South strategy for the London Borough of Kensington.

Mr. Ottaway: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions when work will commence on the Coulsdon
Inner Relief Road. [102501]
Mr. Hill: I have asked the Chief Executive of the Highways Agency, Mr. Peter Nutt, to write to the hon. Member.
Letter from David York, on behalf of Mr. Peter Nutt, to Mr. Richard Ottaway, dated 15 December 1999:
The Minister for Transport for London, Keith Hill, has asked me to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about the start of
works for the A23 Coulsdon Inner Relief Road. I am replying in the absence of the Chief Executive, Peter Nutt.
The scheme was included in the Targeted Programme of Improvements announced by the Secretary of State in July 1998. It will transfer
to Transport for London in July 2000.
We have recently appointed Consultant Engineers to prepare tender documents to allow work to start in early 2002.
