Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what measures his Department has put in place to provide cover for the areas from which traffic officers have been redeployed to Kent as part of Operation Brock.

Highways England have carefully considered the impact of redeploying Traffic Officers to Kent from different parts of the country to assist in the management of Operation Brock in Kent. The agency has been taking appropriate measures to manage its staffing and resources effectively so as to ensure there is suitable resilience across all regions of the Strategic Road Network (SRN), and that required resourcing levels are achieved on every shift across the SRN.
