STRATEGIC ROAD NETWORK

That this House recognises that the Strategic Road Network is a major public asset which is essential to the economy of the UK; is concerned that proposals to change the status of the Highways Agency to a GoCo are a costly distraction and will do nothing to improve safety, the environment or the reliability of the network; and calls on the Government to halt this process of privatisation and allow the Strategic Road Network to remain a public asset, managed by the Highways Agency.
