To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make a statement on the resources allocated in 2001–02 for the maintenance of the Runcorn-Widnes bridge. [157213]

Mr. Hill

I announced in November 2000 that as part of the local transport plan allocation for Halton borough council for 2001–02, £1 million is being made available towards maintenance of the Runcorn-Widnes bridge. Further funding will be provided during the period of the local transport plan to meet in full the maintenance scheme for this bridge.
