Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress he has made with Cabinet colleagues on the Melton Mowbray Distributor Road scheme.
I pay tribute to my Hon. Friend’s active and long-standing support for this important scheme to deliver the North and East Melton Mowbray Distributor Road. Officials in the Department are in close touch with Leicestershire County Council to keep them up to date with progress on this scheme.
