Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help reduce disruption from protests on the M25.

The Department works closely with National Highways, which is responsible for operations on the Strategic Road Network as the relevant highway authority. As of November 7, 2022, National Highways have two High Court injunctions in force; one specifically relating to structures and gantries on the M25 until December 10, 2022, and one covering the M25, the M25 feeder roads, and major roads in Kent and around the Port of Dover until May 20, 2023.
