I propose to take Questions Nos. 27 and 64 together.

37 projects have already been completed since the beginning of Transport 21 in 2006 and 25 are currently underway. A list of these projects is provided in the Appendix. The start and completion dates of projects which have not yet commenced will be determined by the funding allocation available during the current difficult economic climate. The commencement dates for these projects will also be influenced by the time taken for public consultation, the relevant statutory process and the procurement and contract award processes.
