The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of the Strategic Road Network funding is spent in the South West.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

National Highways is forecasting that 9 to 10 percent of its 2025/26 budget will be spent in the South-West. This is a provisional estimate based on its Quarter 3 position. The final outturn for the year will be available in the summer following independent audit by the National Audit Office.

Investment in the Strategic Road Network for 2026/27 to 2030/31 will be set out in the third Road Investment Strategy, due to be published by the end of March.
