Written Question
Demonstrations: Road Traffic
Wednesday 12th July 2023

Asked by: Lord Mackinlay of Richborough (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made an estimate of (a) driver hours lost to traffic delays and (b) carbon dioxide emissions caused by Just Stop Oil protests since February 2022.

Answered by Richard Holden - Shadow Secretary of State for Transport

National Highways the Government’s Arm’s Length body that manages the Strategic Road Network has estimated the driver’s hours lost due to protestors as 126,894 hours.

The data for carbon dioxide emissions is currently not available due to complexity in gathering such data.

Illegal protests on our roads put the lives of drivers and road workers at risk, as well as pointlessly interfering with the lives of ordinary people. We will continue to pursue every option available to deter them.
