Lilian Greenwood – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lilian Greenwood on 2016-03-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has made any additional capital funding available to Highways England since the Spending Review and Autumn Statement 2015.

Andrew Jones

My Department has not agreed any additional capital funding for Highways England for the spending review 2015, beyond that announced in the Autumn Statement 2015. The Autumn Statement confirmed the level of capital funding across the spending review period for Highways England as set out in the Road Investment Strategy, which triples investment in our strategic road network. SR15 also confirmed that Highways England will receive an additional £230m to deliver Operation Stack.
