Written Question
M20: Large Goods Vehicles
Friday 11th September 2015

Asked by: Lord Hanson of Flint (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the estimated cost to the public purse of Operation Stack has been since June 2014.

Answered by Andrew Jones

The Government has not estimated the cost of implementation of Operation Stack on the public purse.

Government firmly views the implementation of Operation Stack as a last, not first resort, and that it is implemented only when necessary by Kent Police. The priority is to keep traffic and goods moving on the roads, while minimising the impact on the public purse.

The Government continues to work with Kent County Council, Kent Police, and Highways England on a range of short to long term solutions to support Operation Stack.
