Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of proposals to extend the M5 motorway from Exeter to Plymouth.
Final decisions on the second Road Investment Strategy that will cover new investments in the Strategic Road Network after 2020 will be announced later this year. These decisions will draw on evidence assembled through our extensive consultation and engagement process, including local proposals for enhancing the A38 between Exeter and Bodmin and the findings of Highways England’s South West Peninsula Route Strategy, published in 2017.
