Road Investment Strategy

Lord Trefgarne Excerpts

Wednesday 11th September 2024 Lords Chamber

[Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill (Lab)]

I can confirm that, following the Chancellor’s Statement and a review of the Treasury’s spending audit, which identified more than £2.9 billion-worth of unfunded transport spend this year, the scheme for the A303 at Stonehenge will no longer go ahead.

[Lord Trefgarne (Con)]

My Lords, can the noble Lord say what progress has been made with constructing the new junction for the A3 and the M25, when he expects it to be complete and what he expects it to cost?

[Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill (Lab)]

I do not have the precise answer to that question, so I will be delighted to write to the noble Lord to clarify the questions he asked.
