HC Deb 17 December 1996 vol 287 c514W
Mr. Battle

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to amend the regulations making utilities liable for 18 per cent. of the costs of diversionary works for major transport schemes. [9293]

Mr. Watts

I am discussing this issue with ministerial colleagues.

Mr. Battle

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what contributions were made by utility companies towards the costs of diversionary works for major transport schemes, including street-running tramways, in each year since 1992. [9296]

Mr. Watts

This information is not held centrally. However, no contributions would have been made under the relevant provisions of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 before they came into effect on 1 January 1993.
