The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will direct National Highways to upgrade Junction 13 of the M1 in the context of the Milton Keynes New Town.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Department recognises the importance of this junction as a key connection between the M1, the A421 corridor, and the wider Milton Keynes and Bedford area. National Highways is considering options for major improvements to it as part of future investment planning to inform future Road Investment Strategies. The work is at an early stage and is focused on options for improving the operation of the three roundabouts that form the junction to increase capacity and strengthen safety, whilst supporting regional growth.
