§ Mr. LuffTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions when he expects to reach a decision on Worcestershire County Council's application for supplementary credit approvals to fund capital works resulting from the Easter floods. [52734]
§ Ms Glenda JacksonApplications for additional supplementary credit approvals for transport capital expenditure are generally considered after the financial year to which they relate. Officials of my Department are investigating the extent to which there is immediate need for additional supplementary credit approvals from the Transport Policies and Programme system for reinstatement of transport infrastructure damaged by the flood. I will make a decision shortly.
