To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what has been the overall cost of compensation for abortive tenders as a result of the Government's announcements of deferrals under the accelerated consideration of major road schemes announced in July. [12263]

Relevant claims for compensation will be considered on their merits. Once agreement has been reached on any sums payable in compensation these will be made public.
