Text

I thank the Minister. I record my thanks to DFI staff for their work over the weekend. It seems a bit crass to be talking about the major roads programme when we see the destruction that is across even rural roads in the likes of my constituency. It may seem strange that I am not advocating just for my constituency today; I want to ask about the York Street interchange and to check whether that will be part of the major roads programme. We talk quite a bit in the Chamber about congestion, and that is one of the measures that could alleviate it. We saw £400 million secured by the DUP confidence-and-supply agreement, and that project is part of New Decade, New Approach. Will that project be included in the prioritisation programme?
