Answer from Hansard

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport (Lilian Greenwood)

We are determined to end the pothole plague on our roads, which is the result of a decade of under-investment by the previous Government. We have provided an extra £500 million for councils this year to allow them to make an immediate start on this.
