The Department is not yet able to give a final figure for the costs of the repatriation operation as we are awaiting invoices from third parties.

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>

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>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-04-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "135316"} , {"_value" : "135317"} , {"_value" : "135321"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-04-23T13:44:10.277Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-04-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Monarch Airlines: Insolvency"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of final cost to the public purse of costs not recharged after the collapse of Monarch airlines.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4682", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Luke Pollard"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Luke Pollard"} ], "uin" : "135319"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/882383", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/882383/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Following Carillion\u2019s collapse, Highways England re-examined the adequacy of the current tests it carries out in relation to suppliers\u2019 financial viability. Although it concluded that the indicators and processes it is using remain robust, Highways England has increased the resource levels in the team responsible for these finance checks, allowing more suppliers to be considered in depth.<\/p>
<\/p>
Highways England continues to work with the Department for Transport and other stakeholders to review the process for testing the financial standing of suppliers, and has made clear it will seek to implement lessons and best practice identified as appropriate in the coming months.<\/p>

Highways England keeps the trunk road and motorway network in England under constant review, but has made no recent specific assessment of trends in the level of congestion through the East Midlands. In March 2017, Highways England published its Route Strategies presenting a high level view of performance and constraints on the existing road network as well as recommending areas for further study.
