Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between David Jones and David Morris

Wednesday 15th May 2013 Commons Chamber

[Mr Jones]

I am heavily engaged with the Treasury on that very issue. However, I must point out to the hon. Gentleman that the road network in Wales is a devolved competence, and it is a great shame that the Welsh Government have not attended to this problem sooner, before the situation declined to the extent that it has. We are certainly engaged with the Treasury, and I hope that we will be able to make announcements in the future.

[David Morris (Morecambe and Lunesdale) (Con)]

Does my right hon. Friend agree that the M4 in south Wales is in desperate need of improvement, to relieve congestion that is hampering economic development there?
