Mr. Robert McCartney: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if the remuneration and expenses due to board members of
the cross-border implementation bodies continue to be paid since the suspension of the Northern Ireland Assembly on 11 February; and
which members of the boards of the cross-border implementation bodies have declined to accept (i) remuneration and (ii) expenses
since the suspension of the Northern Ireland Assembly on 11 February. [115336]
Mr. Mandelson: None of the members of the boards of the North/South Implementation Bodies has yet been paid any of the remuneration
due to them since the bodies were established on 2 December 1999.
Since the suspension of the Northern Ireland Assembly, only members of the Board of the North/South Language Body have received
reimbursement of expenses. These were in respect of a meeting that took place prior to suspension.
No members of the Boards have declined to accept remuneration or expenses since the suspension of the Northern Ireland Assembly.

Mr. Robert McCartney: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what steps he is taking to improve the state of the
Northern Ireland Railway's rolling stock. [99281]
Mr. George Howarth: It is acknowledged that much of the NIR class 80 rolling stock is nearing the end of its useful life and will
need to be replaced over the coming years. To this end the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland has been examining
opportunities for a Public Private Partnership (PPP) to meet the investment needs. A report on PPP options is expected in the near
future and an announcement will follow when decisions have been made on the way forward. In view of the time scales involved in
bringing forward any PPP option the Department is also examining the interim funding that would be required for rolling stock
replacement.
