Mr. Robert AinsworthTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to his answer of 13 December 1996,Official Report, column 365, if he will list for each eligible local authority in England (a) the spending approvals and (b) the transport supplementary grant awards made for local transport capital expenditure for 1997–98 for (i) major highway schemes, eligible for TSG, (ii) major highway schemes, not TSG eligible, (iii) structural maintenance on carriageways, (iv) structural maintenance on bridges, (v) major public transport projects, (vi) minor works: packages, (vii) minor works: non-packages and (viii) minor works: local safety schemes and for each authority the total amounts. [12487]
§ Mr. Watts[holding answer 24 January 1997]: Department of Transport support for local authority capital expenditure on transport infrastructure is mainly given as transport supplementary grant, grant under section 56 of the Transport Act 1968, or credit approvals—annual capital guideline and supplementary credit approval.
TSG is given for major highway schemes on roads of more than local importance, structural maintenance on the carriageways of principal roads, and assessment, strengthening, and structure maintenance of bridges and highway structures. It is payable at a rate of 50 per cent. of accepted expenditure. Credit approvals are given to fund the other 50 per cent. Credit approvals are also allocated in association with section 56 grant. Additionally, they may be applied to schemes and programmes where grant is not suitable.
Allocations for minor works in 1997–98 are restricted to transport packages, and local safety schemes.
