§ Mr. HarveyTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is the total value of the outstanding disturbance claims arising from the building of the A361 Tiverton to Barnstaple link road; and what he estimates to be the interest accumulated on this sum.
§ Mr. Kenneth CarlisleThe value of third-party claims arising from the construction of the A361 north Devon link road stages 2A and 2B would be difficult to quantify, as they are subject to negotiation between the claimant, the contractors, the consultants who supervise construction, and the Department. Compensation negotiated in respect of third-party claims does not attract interest.
§ Mr. HarveyTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many disturbance claims arising from the building of the A361 Tiverton to Barnstaple link road are still outstanding.
