In line with the usual transparency guidelines on Government financial reporting, the final expenditure will be made clear in the annual accounts for the Department, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the Air Travel Trust (ATT), which should be published in June 2018.</p><p> </p><p>At this stage, the current forecasts suggest that the total cost of the repatriation operation remains broadly in line with the original estimate of around £60m.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is focused on making sure that there is clear burden sharing of the repatriation operation, and is seeking to recover costs of the operation from third parties. This is a continuing process and a final position on cost recovery is unlikely to be known until the completion of the administrative process; this may take several months. The Department will in due course be able to report back with more detail.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 135317 135319 135321 question first answered 23/04/2018 13:44:10 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

The information requested is not held in the format sought and obtaining this for the central department and Executive Agencies would require a manual trawl through local systems and individual transactions which would exceed the cost limit. In addition, owing to organisational changes former Executive Agencies would be brought into scope which would require further analysis of historic records.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 27/03/2018 15:33:37 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani

uin	133730
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2018 answer text <p>The Department does not hold this information as we do not collect data about un-adopted roads. A local highway authority may adopt a road if it has been built to the required standard. It will then become maintainable at the public’s expense. An authority will not, however, adopt a road that does not meet the required standard. Some developers do not seek adoption, and some residents will prefer to keep the road as private.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 29/03/2018 10:51:19 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
