STRATEGIC ROAD NETWORK

Early day motion 77, tabled 17 May 2005 by Alan Duncan (Conservative). Signed by 56 members.

That this House condemns the erosion of the importance of the English strategic road network, the motorways and trunk roads managed by the Highways Agency; notes that the strategic road network, the country's major transport asset, makes up just four per cent. of the road network but carries one third of all traffic; and calls upon the Government to put a stop to plans further to devolve and downgrade key sections of the network such as the M5 west and south of Bristol, much of the A1, and most roads in the South West and East Anglia.

Signatures by party: Conservative 55, Liberal Democrat 1.
