Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will publish the areas in Kent that have received a notification from Highways England in relation to their suitability for lorry parking.

As part of its work on Operation Brock, Highways England has written to over 1,000 landholders along the M2/A2 and M20/A20 corridors in Kent to seek permission to access their land for ecological surveys. These surveys are required for Highways England to gain a better understanding of the local environment, and should not be taken to indicate that any decisions have been taken. Further information will be published by Highways England early next year as potential options are explored as part of the planning process.
