National Highways: Finance
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government when they expect to lay the Highways (Financing) Bill before Parliament; and through what mechanisms they intend for the Bill to increase public control of key utilities.
- Answer
-
The Highways (Financing) Bill will be brought forward when Parliamentary time allows. This House will have full opportunity to scrutinise this legislation in the usual way at that time. The Bill will be concerned with a new financing model for our largest road projects, not with utilities more generally.
