Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of research by the Home Builders Federation on rates of road adoption by local authorities; and whether he is taking steps to reverse trends identified.

I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement (HCWS1210) made on 18 December 2025.

The two consultations both closed on 12 March 2026. We are currently analysing the feedback received and will publish our response in due course.
