Mr. Beard: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what the average balance between supply and demand of electricity
was at (a) peak and (b) off- peak times last winter; what she estimates the balance is likely to be in (i) five years time and (ii)
10 years time; and what her forecasts are of (A) demand and (B) the projected investment plans of the industry over those periods.
[138875]
Mr. Timms: According to figures published in the DTI Digest of UK Energy Statistics, the maximum simultaneous electricity load met
during the winter of 2002-03 was 61,717 MW. This represented 87.6 per cent. of the generating capacity owned by major power
producers in the UK, although this figure would fall to 85.2 per cent. if the interconnector with France were included. Average load
across the whole winter period (October to March) was approximately 49,000 MW.
Provisional estimates arising from work to update the DTI energy projections in Energy Paper 68 indicate that electricity demand is
likely to grow by around 1.25 per cent. per annum over the next decade. On this basis, demand in five years time would be around 6
per cent. above current levels and demand in 10 years around 13 per cent. above current levels.
Future investment by the industry, and hence the future balance between supply and demand, is a commercial matter for electricity
market participants. The UK market provides strong financial incentives for electricity suppliers to contract for sufficient power
to meet their customers' needs and for generators to deliver the power they have contracted to provide.

Mr. Beard: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment his Department has made of whether the US missile defence
system could protect the UK and her allies from ballistic missile attack. [93188]
Mr. Hoon: The United States missile defence programme remains evolutionary and its future architecture has still finally to be
decided. The US has offered to extend missile defence coverage and make missile defence capabilities available to the United Kingdom
as the evolution of the system permits, subject to appropriate political and financial arrangements. An assessment of how coverage
of the UK and allies might be achieved is included in the discussion paper published by the Ministry of Defence on 9 December 2002.
The UK will continue this process of assessment, not least through agreeing a technical Memorandum of Understanding with the United
States to gain further insight into the missile defence programme.

Mr. Boateng: Under the 10-year plan we have made a significant commitment to planning and procurement of projects that reach an
appropriate stage, some of which were announced by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Transport in the House on
Tuesday.
Where projects require public subsidy, they will be assessed and our commitment will be given to those where value for money and
affordability are demonstrated throughout the life of the project.
For PFI/PPP projects our commitment over the life of the project is contractual and tied to delivery.

Mr. Beard: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the latest estimate is of the cost of the Trident Acquisition Programme;
and if he will make a statement. [67206]
Mr. Hoon: The current estimate of the total acquisition cost of the Trident programme, with payments already made expressed at the
prices and exchange rates actually incurred and future spend at the current financial year rate (the hybrid) estimate, is now £9,800
million. Since the 2001 estimate and leaving aside the effects of price inflation and exchange rate variation (+£11 million), there
has been a real cost increase of £25 million. This increase derives principally from additional costs associated with dockyard
projects and with missiles and related equipment, offset by a reduced acquisition cost for the four submarines. Expenditure on the
Trident acquisition programme to 30 September 2001 represented over 98 per cent. of the total estimate. If all expenditure, past and
projected, is brought up to this current year's economic conditions (the non-hybrid estimate) the estimate is £14,376 million.
The programme continues to show an overall reduction in real terms on its original 1982 estimate. This reduction, including the
savings resulting from the decision to process missiles at the United States facility at Kings Bay, Georgia, now stands at over £3.7
billion at current prices.
The proportion of the estimate for work undertaken in the United Kingdom continues to be around 70 per cent.
Three in-service Vanguard class submarines are successfully maintained continuous at-sea deterrence, with the fourth, HMS Vanguard,
now undergoing planned major overhaul.

Mr. Beard: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what steps he is taking to regulate road
works on major roads. [55565]
Ms Keeble: We are introducing a range of regulatory measures to deal with disruption to road users caused by works on the street. In
particular, last April we introduced powers allowing highway authorities to levy charges on utility works which are not completed to
deadline. We are also piloting powers allowing authorities to levy "lane rental" on utilities for the whole duration of their works.
As to maintenance work carried out on trunk roads, the Highways Agency aims to keep to a minimum disruption caused by such works;
for example wherever possible routine maintenance is undertaken outside peak hours.
