Matthew Taylor: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many malicious car fires occurred in (a) 2000, (b) 2001 and (c) 2002; and if he will make a statement. [117896] Mr. Raynsford: In 2000 there were 62,964 malicious car fires in the UK (from a total of 82,002 car fires). In 2001 there were 70,107 such fires (from a total of 88,242 car fires). Data are not yet available for 2002. Malicious fires are those where malicious or deliberate ignition was proved or suspected. Arson is one of the major fire threats facing us today. That is why in 1998 the Government commissioned a study into the arrangements for dealing with the problem of deliberate fire-setting. The study reported in 1999 and made a number of far-reaching recommendations; the most significant of which was the creation of the Government-led Arson Control Forum to provide the strategic direction to the national fight against arson. The Forum was launched in April 2001. The Forum is now taking forward a programme of preventative measures that address arson in its many guises. The Forum continues to fund a number of locally based arson control initiatives and has issued guidance on a variety of arson related subjects. Car fires comprise a considerable element of the deliberate fires problem and Government have taken a number of steps to address this. New powers will enable local authorities to remove unlicensed vehicles more quickly and tighten vehicle registration procedures. Also, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister is looking at ways to improve the links between the Driver Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) and local councils to make it easier to trace the owners of derelict or abandoned vehicles.

Mr. Matthew Taylor: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what has been the total cost of new road projects authorised by him since 1 May 1997 in (a) Devon and (b) Cornwall. [40834] Ms Glenda Jackson: My Department has not accepted any major new road local authority road schemes for funding in either Devon or Cornwall since 1 May 1997. It is open to authorities to fund minor new road projects (those costing up to £2 million) using the resources allocated to them for transport packages. Information on the use they are making of these resources will not be available until they submit their Transport Policies and Programme bids in July. All resources allocated for local safety schemes are for use on road improvements at locations where there is a record of accidents. The following table summarises allocations made to councils in the Devon and Cornwall areas under those headings as part of the local transport capital settlement for 1998-99: _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

[22450] Ms Glenda Jackson: The following table shows the local authority road schemes which were funded in 1997-98 but for which no financial support has been provided for 1998-99. Schemes for which no bids were received have not been included. In each case, the decision not to continue funding was in accordance with established procedures which take account of progress made on the scheme and the extent of previous financial support. In no case was increased cost the sole factor. None were suspended because of changes in policy. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
