Nicholas Brown – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Nicholas Brown on 2015-01-14.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the environmental effect of the Government’s road investment strategy announced on 1 December 2014.

Mr John Hayes

Environmental appraisals of each individual scheme announced on 1 December will be brought forward as part of the standard scheme development process. Separate to this, the Road Investment Strategy also includes commitments to over £500m of environmental spending through a series of ring-fenced ‘designated funds’, which will bring about real improvements to the existing network.
