Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how much private investment has been(a) spent and (b) procured for the railways under the 10-year plan; how much is projected by 2004–05; and what is projected for the 10 year plan (i) at today's prices and (ii) at outturn cost. [76194]

Mr. Jamieson

Table 5.2 of "National Rail Trends" published by the Strategic Rail Authority, every three months, sets out investment in the rail industry. In 2001–2 which is the first full year of the 10 year plan period, the rail industry attracted total investment of £4070m of which £3386m was private investment.

Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the estimated start-dates for construction of each of the projects in the 10-year plan. [76467]

Mr. Jamieson

The 10 Year Plan provides an overarching investment framework. While it included some illustrative outputs to show the scale and type of projects that could be delivered, it is for the key Delivery Agencies involved to determine how that investment is ultimately deployed to deliver the Plan targets.

Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how much of the public expenditure on transport listed in the 10-year plan remains uncommitted. [76468]

Mr. Jamieson

This information will be published in due course in the report on the 10 Year Plan setting out progress to date.
