Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the budgets allocated for (1) building new roads, and (2) improving existing highways, have been underspent in the current financial year; and if so, to what amounts.

The final spend for 2021-22 on the strategic road network will be confirmed in National Highways’ Annual Report and Accounts later this year.

There is no projected underspend in DfT’s 2021-22 budgets for Local Authority road enhancement schemes.
