To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to his Department's Road Investment Strategy, published on 1 December 2014, for what reasons improvements to the A27 at Arundel and Worthing are not included in Highways England's Strategic Business Plan 2015 to 2020, published on 9 December 2014; and when that plan will be updated to include that scheme.
