Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when her Department plans to publish the findings of the Ipsos research into sections 37 and 38 of the Highways Act 1980; and what next steps she plans to take following that research.

The Department for Transport intends to publish the findings of the independent Ipsos UK research in due course. The Government is committed to a cross-departmental approach to addressing issues relating to unadopted roads and private estate management. The Department is considering the findings alongside wider evidence.
