Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to announce new investment for highways in Essex.

On 30 July 2024, the Secretary of State announced that she was commissioning a review of the Department’s capital spend portfolio.

This review will support the development of our long-term strategy for transport, developing a modern and integrated network with people at its heart, ensuring that transport infrastructure can be delivered efficiently and on time.

Major investment decisions are a matter for the forthcoming Spending Review.
