Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has had recent discussions with National Highways on keeping motorways clear of litter in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin.

The Department works closely with National Highways to combat roadside litter along our motorways and considers National Highways performance against its litter performance indicator. However, specific regional operational matters are the responsibility of National Highways and relevant local duty bodies.
