Labour — Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 October 2026

Debate

Highways (Financing) Bill

Contribution

I welcome the measures in the Bill to invest in our road system, but will the Minister comment on the technological advances to vehicles over the next decades? Most vehicles will eventually become self-driving. That will mean much less congestion, and vehicles will communicate with each other, so there will be much simpler junctions and fewer accidents. What account are the Government taking of the technical changes to vehicles?
