HC Deb 14 July 2003 vol 409 c74W
Mr. Hayes

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions whether the medium pressure ductile iron gas mains within 30 metres of buildings owned and recently discovered by Transco was replaced by 30 April 2003. [120476]

Mr. Browne

Transco completed the replacement of the outstanding quantity of medium pressure ductile iron mains within 30 metres of buildings by 30 April 2003 in various locations across Great Britain. Originally Transco calculated the length was 11.382 km. However, further site investigation revealed some pipe was not in fact ductile iron and the total replaced was 10.69 km.
