Roads

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he is taking steps to bring critical national infrastructure routes under his Department's control.

Answer

The Department does not designate whole routes as critical national infrastructure, only certain systems, or key infrastructure points.

Both Network Rail and National Highways are government owned companies, operating the rail network in Great Britain and motorway and major A-roads in England respectively.

We regularly review the strategic road network extent to ensure it remains fit for purpose, most recently in the consultation process that will inform the third road investment strategy, between 2025-2030.
