Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to paragraph 3.25 of the Autumn Statement 2016, on which schemes the £100 million of investment in road resilience projects referred to will be spent.

The Autumn Statement on 23 November 2016 announced £100 million would be made available from 2017/18 to improve resilience to flooding on our road network. The Department for Transport will now develop criteria to be published in due course for which local highway authorities can submit bids to the Department.
