Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether funding to tackle water pollution caused by highways will be included in the budget of Road Investment Strategy 3.

The third Road Investment Strategy (RIS3) includes funding to enable National Highway to continue delivering on its 2030 Water Quality Plan, and to mitigate pollution from a total of 190 – 250 drainage assets (outfalls and soakaways) that pose the greatest pollution risk.
