To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what recent representations he has received on doubling the A4440 Southern Link Road.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what recent representations he has received on doubling the A4440 Southern Link Road.
I have received no recent representations on this proposed scheme.
As you are aware, it was announced in the spending review earlier this year that a total of £2 billion per annum would now be committed to the Local Growth Fund over the six years from 2015-16 and be available to LEPs through 'Growth Deals'. These will be negotiated between Government and local areas through strategic economic plans (SEPs) that are due to be submitted to Government in March 14. Worcestershire local enterprise partnership may wish to include the dualling of the A4440 Southern Link Road in their SEP, if it is seen as key to economic growth in the area.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change how many homes in Worcester have received insulation in (a) 2012, (b) 2011 and (c) 2010 under his Department's programmes.

Information on insulation measures installed under the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT), which was the Government's main domestic energy efficiency policy for the period concerned, is compiled by the Home Energy Efficiency Database (HEED) overseen by the Energy Saving Trust. The latest published data is provided below for the Worcester local authority area. For technical reasons the HEED database tends to under report by around 10%, the actual number of installations will therefore be higher. Information on the final period of CERT, covering the period up until the end of 2012, will be published later this year.

I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this debate, and may I add Kidderminster college, where I serve as a governor, to that list of Worcestershire-based colleges? It also had a £40 million promise cruelly yanked away at the last minute after something like £150,000 of important college funds had...
