Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many vehicles used each of the roads built or operating using the design, build, finance and operate contracting method, in each month of operation; who the contractor was in each case; how much was paid under each contract; and if he will make a statement. [86099]

Mr. Jamieson

The table shows the traffic figures (in vehicle kilometres) for each financial year for each of my Department's design build finance and operate projects since these were opened to traffic. Providing figures for each month would be disproportionately expensive.

(i) completed and (ii) not completed implementation of the port marine safety code; and what steps he is taking to ensure full compliance. [86092]

Mr. Jamieson
