Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Highways England press release, New resurfacing technology a UK first, published on 4 August 2016, for what reasons that article was withdrawn from the Government website in 2017.

The article was owned and published by National Highways, so its removal is a matter for them. The second Road Investment Strategy, published in March 2020 commits National Highways to maintaining and upgrading the road surface across its network through its renewals programme, while investing in the latest road resurfacing technologies through a Designated Fund for Innovation and Modernisation.
