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.

Dr. Tonge: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Israeli
Government concerning road networks in the Occupied Territories which can be used only by Israelis. [204762]
Mr. MacShane: We regularly raise our concerns with the Israeli Government on the imposition of restrictions on the movement of
Palestinian people and goods (the closures). My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary raised this issue during his visit to Israel
on 24 November. These restrictions contribute to the Palestinians' sense of frustration and helplessness, and make a
comprehensive settlement more difficult to achieve. We will continue to urge the Israeli Government to facilitate maximum freedom of
movement for Palestinians in the Occupied Territories.

Mr. Dismore: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what assessment he has made of the risks of driving while taking
(a) benzodiazepines, (b) tricyclic antidepressants and (c) antihistamines; and if he will make a statement;
[204020]
(2) if he will introduce changes to labelling of (a) benzodiazepines, (b) tricyclic antidepressants and
(c) antihistamines to ensure clear advice on possible effects on driving when taking such medication is included; and if he
will make a statement. [204021]
(3) if he will commission research on the experience in other EU countries of the effects on the incidence of road accidents of
labelling pharmaceutical packaging to include information on the effects of the drug on driving, with particular reference to
(a) benzodiazepines, (b) tricyclic antidepressants and (c) antihistamines; and if he will make a statement.
[204062]
Ms Rosie Winterton: It is recognised that some medicines may affect ability to drive. Where a particular medicine or class of
medicines is known to affect a patient's ability to drive, a warning is included in both the product information for
prescribers--the summary of product characteristics--and patients--the patient information leaflet. Antihistamines, which cause
drowsiness are is included in both the product information for prescribers--the summary of product characteristics--and
patients--the patient information leaflet. Antihistamines, which cause drowsiness are required by law to include a warning on the
outer label concerning the need for caution regarding driving.
In addition, for certain groups of drugs, including benzodiazepines, tricyclic antidepressants and sedating antihistamines, warning
labels in relation to driving are added at the time of dispensing of the medicine by the pharmacist, in line with guidance provided
in the British National Formulary.
The impact of medicines, which may affect the ability to drive on the incidence of road traffic accidents is unclear. There is very
limited information systematically recorded by the police in the United Kingdom or elsewhere on accident causation due to the
effects of medication. Studies are currently ongoing to evaluate the impact of medicines on the risk of road traffic accidents. In
particular, the European Commission is supporting a three year extensive research programme named IMMORTAL (Impaired Motorists,
Methods of Roadside testing'-and Assessment for Licensing). This study aims to investigate the influence of chronic and acute
impairment factors, including impairment from medicines, on driving performance and accident risk. Until the level of risk due to
medicines has been identified, it is not possible to assess the effects of medicines labelling on the incidence of road traffic
accidents.

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.
