Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the potential Barnett consequentials for the devolved administrations of projects to install electric charging points at every 20 miles on the strategic road network in (a) Wales, (b) Scotland and (c) Northern Ireland.

Highways England’s target in the Road Investment Strategy (2015 – 2020), to ensure there is a chargepoint every 20 miles along 95% of the strategic road network, only applies to England. The Scottish Government, Welsh Government and Northern Ireland Executive receive Barnett consequentials on this funding in the usual way.
