Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of National Highways' work to improve road safety on the A5 and A458.

The Department for Transport has not conducted a specific assessment of the adequacy of National Highways' work to improve road safety on the English sections of the A5 and A458.
