Mrs. Spelman: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment his Department has made of the effects of decriminalised parking enforcement on the numbers of (a) traffic wardens and (b) parking enforcement officers in England. [223373] Charlotte Atkins: The Government have encouraged local authorities to take over responsibility for parking enforcement from the police and police traffic wardens. This allows authorities to provide more effective enforcement and to match that enforcement to their local transport objectives. Over 150 local authorities are now responsible for decriminalised parking enforcement, with parking attendants carrying out the enforcement on the street. This policy of transferring responsibility to local authorities is reflected in Home Office figures for the number of traffic wardens in England and Wales for the years 1999-2000 to 2003-04 (the most recent year for which figures are available), which are as follows: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Number 1999-2000 2,801 2000-01 2,538 2001-02 2,280 2002-03 2,108 2003-04 1,688 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Comparable figures for parking attendants employed by local authorities are not collected centrally.

Miss McIntosh: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on (a) his de- trunking programme and (b) the level of resources transferred from his Department to local highway authorities for this purpose. [222482] Mr. Jamieson: The information requested is as follows: (a) The policy of transferring non-core trunk roads (de-trunking) to local highway authorities was first set out in the White Paper A New Deal for Transport published in July 1998. De-trunking allows the Highways Agency to concentrate on the operation of the strategic (core) trunk road network, whilst enabling local authorities to consider their own priorities for the improvement of non-core routes. The aim has been to transfer some 3,200 kms (30 per cent.) of the trunk road network (as it was in April 1999) to local authorities in a phased programme. To date more than three-quarters (around 2,500 kms) of the programme has been completed since April 2001. (b) Prior to the de-trunking of a road, the Highways Agency and local authority agree an appropriate level of funding for annual routine maintenance and in some cases' outstanding capital maintenance projects. The methodology for calculating the funding has been approved by the Local Government Association to ensure a fair transfer of resources. In the years following de-trunking, the authority can also make supplementary bids for additional funds for capital maintenance projects (bridge replacement, resurfacing etc.) on de- trunked roads as part of the LTP process. In 2004-05 around £33.1 million of routine maintenance funds, and £31.6 million of capital maintenance funds were transferred from the Highways Agency to local authorities for all de-trunked roads.

Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he plans to take to improve the understanding of youth offending teams of their role. [219318] Paul Goggins: The Youth Justice Board (YJB) oversees the operation of the youth justice system, including ensuring that Youth Offending Teams (YOTs) understand their role and how best to carry it out. It has established a performance management framework, designed to ensure local services work together to prevent children and young people from offending in the first place and to reduce the risk of further re-offending by existing offenders. It has introduced effective practice principles based on research evidence of what works in reducing offending and this is being rolled out across England and Wales. This is being supported and underpinned by the development of a National Qualification Justice professionals. The YJB is committed to ensuring that 80 per cent. of the youth justice workforce has benefited from professional training by March 2006. The YJB has also been working worked closely with the antisocial behaviour unit in the Home Office to ensure that YOTS along with their local authority partners and the police put in place targeted prevention programmes aimed at diverting children and young people from antisocial and sub criminal activity. The YJB has developed guidance for YOTS for dealing with antisocial behaviour issues, which is due to be published shortly. Also the forthcoming draft Youth Justice Bill proposes to clarify the YOTS' role in supporting Antisocial behaviour initiatives.
