Dr Julian Huppert (Cambridge) (LD)
There is much to welcome in the statement: increased funding for affordable housing, science and green investment—it is all excellent. The announcement on the A14 will be welcomed by many. There is a long history of schemes for that road coming and going, while the poor design continues and the Huntingdon viaduct is well beyond its design life. Can my right hon. Friend confirm whether it will be a toll road? I certainly hope that it will not be. Can he be clear on that point?
Danny Alexander
The road will be taken forward according to the plans set out previously. That will include some tolling for new capacity.
