<p>The government has committed to hypothecate Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) in England
from 2020-21 into the National Roads Fund (NRF), providing long-term certainty for
roads investment. This will be used to maintain the country’s main arterial routes
and enhance national road connectivity.</p><p> </p><p>Devolving VED to London would
undermine the purpose of the NRF to deliver nationally significant schemes across
the strategic road network, including those in London such as the M25 and some recently
announced Major Road Network candidates which will also be funded by the NRF.</p>
