I propose to take Questions No 440 and No. 441 together.

The outturns of expenditure on National Roads for the period 1 January 2000 to 30 June 2006, including the outturns in respect of the BMW Region and the S&E Region, will be considered by the Monitoring Committee for the Economic and Social Infrastructure Operational Programme at its normal scheduled meeting on 27 October 2006. Immediately following the meeting, the Deputy will be provided with the information requested. At this stage, I am in a position to provide the information for the period to the end of December 2005. The information is set out in the table.

The outturn figures take into account adjustments made by the National Roads Authority to the figures previously reported for the period. In the case of both regions the adjustments made show increased levels of expenditure over and above those previously reported.
