Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to his Department's Road Investment Strategy, published on 1 December 2014, for what reasons improvements to the A27 at Arundel and Worthing are not included in Highways England's Strategic Business Plan 2015 to 2020, published on 9 December 2014; and when that plan will be updated to include that scheme.

I will ensure that Highways England’s proposals for taking forward the schemes identified through feasibility studies, including improvements to the A27, are confirmed in its Delivery Plan. This has been published today and is available at:
