The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will take steps to change how her Department assesses proposals for funding local authority road improvement projects.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Department’s transport business case guidance forms the basis of our assessment of transport investment projects. It follows HM Treasury’s Green Book five case model which is the government’s best practice model for spending and investment decisions. The guidance is kept under review and is used alongside the well-established Transport Analysis Guidance (TAG). TAG is kept under constant review in line with good practice, the latest evidence, and method enhancements.
