Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 16 October 2026 to Question 32938 on Roads: Construction, how much public expenditure had been incurred on each of the four schemes prior to their cancellation, including expenditure on (a) planning, (b) design, (c) procurement and (d) preparatory construction works.

National Highways is unable to provide the breakdown of costs for the schemes under these headings as this is not how they categorise scheme expenditure. Total expenditure on the cancelled schemes was published in National Highways’ Annual Report and Accounts for 2024/25 and 2025/26.
