Question

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister, what role his Office is playing in considering funding options for the Weekley-Warkton bypass in Kettering under the Northamptonshire Local Enterprise Partnership growth deal.

The Government is very supportive of the Weekley-Warkton bypass, which will support the delivery of 5,000 new homes in Kettering East. The Government will look at ways to provide support for this project to accelerate the development. Any financial support will be confirmed following on-going discussion of funding options with local partners.
