2001 Parliamentary Questions
2001
Question 23/10/01 - Matthew Taylor (Liberal Democrat, Truro and St Austell): To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions, pursuant to his answer of 18 July 2001, Official Report, column 203W, on PFI road schemes, what the total points awarded is as a percentage of total that could be awarded; what percentage of projects had points awarded; and what the five main reasons were for awarding of points.
Answer - David Jamieson (Labour, Plymouth, Devonport): There is no limit to the number of penalty points that can be awarded on the Department's PFI trunk road projects. Penalty points are issued when it is appropriate to do so. Points have been awarded on 87.5 per cent (seven of eight) of the projects. The five main reasons for the award of penalty points on the department's DBFO contracts are: testing of construction materials, traffic management, public safety during construction, management of the construction process and road maintenance.
