[295222] Paul Clark: I understand after clarification from the Member’s office, information requested is for road accidents only.

Charities Bob Spink: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport what grants his Department made to charitable organisations in each of the last five years. [292657] Chris Mole: The Department for Transport’s General Ledger has not been configured to identify the business sector in which a grant recipient operates. The Department is therefore unable to identify what grants have been made to charitable organisations in each of the last five years. Cycling: Helmets Mr. Bone: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport on what date he expects to publish his Department’s interim research paper on cycle helmets. [294956] Paul Clark: I refer to the answer given on 9 September 2009, Official Report, column 1904W. Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency: Excise Duties Mr. Spring: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport how much the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency spent on the (a) collection and (b) enforcement of vehicle excise duty in each of the last five years. [294605] Paul Clark: The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, on behalf of Her Majesty’s Treasury, collected £5.5 billion of Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) in the last financial year. The following table shows the cost to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency to (a) collection and (b) enforcement of vehicle excise duty in each of the last five years: Financial year Collection of VED £000 Enforcement of VED 2008-09 132,937 83,928 2007-08 133,980 81,290 2006-07 131,255 85,369 2005-06 123,889 80,967 2004-05 119,518 79,194 First Great Western Mr. Sharma: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport if he will take steps in collaboration with First Great Western to relieve congestion through (a) bringing into service as soon as possible new trains ordered for 2011 and (b) other measures. [294998] Chris Mole: On 23 July the Government announced a major £1 billion programme of rail electrification on the Great Western Main Line. This radically affects the requirements for rolling stock over the next decade. Long-distance services will now be operated by a new fleet of predominantly electric-powered Super Express Trains, offering faster journeys as well as improved capacity and passenger comfort. Electric trains will also be provided for commuter services. Following the procurement of new Thameslink rolling stock, Great Western electrification will allow four-carriage electric trains currently operating Thameslink services to replace three-carriage diesel trains currently operating on the Great Western Main Line. In addition, once completed, Crossrail will provide significantly increased capacity on Great Western services into London. In view of Great Western electrification, the procurement by the Government of new diesel trains, some of which would have entered service on the Great Western Main Line has been superseded. The Government will publish a new Rolling Stock Plan in the autumn, taking account of the changed circumstances. Lorries: Accidents Dr. Iddon: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport how many fatalities occurred as a result of collisions with the side or rear of a heavy goods vehicle in each of the last five years for which figures are available.

Motor Vehicles: Lighting Mr. Goodwill: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport when he expects to publish the Government’s response to the consultation on amending the Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations, which closed on 9 October 2008.
