To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the number of checks undertaken(a) on a weekend and (b) outside normal office hours in order to collate the statistics for the recently published report into the illegal operation of heavy goods vehicles. [30472]

Mr. Norris

There were 114 check sites used during the survey altogether. During the survey, 3,927 vehicles were checked. Six sites were used at weekends, where 210 checks were undertaken. On Monday to Friday, four sites were used entirely outside office hours and a further 80 were used partly outside office hours. In total, 880 checks were conducted outside office hours—between 0900 and 1700—on Monday to Friday. Therefore, in total, 1,090 checks were undertaken outside office hours.

Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what percentage of the goods and public service vehicle operator licensing fees is transferred to Treasury funds. [30463]
