Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with the Welsh Government on upgrades or improvements to the (a) A55 and (b) M4/A40 corridor to cope with potential delays to freight traffic a result of additional customs procedures in the event of the UK leaving the EU customs union.

The Department regularly engages with the Welsh Government to ensure a coordinated, joined up approach to investment in the strategic road network. The Department is in consultation with the ports and logistics industry, in order to help ensure that movement through ports and across borders is as frictionless as possible, whatever the outcome of negotiations on future arrangements for trade with the EU.
