answer text <p>As part of our development of the second Road Investment Strategy (RIS2), the Department will thoroughly consider the case for dualling this stretch of road, using evidence gathered about existing and future pressures across the strategic road network. This evidence includes analysis made by Highways England on the A5 in the <em>Midlands to Wales and</em> <em>Gloucestershire Route Strategy</em>, published in March 2017, and from recent ministerial visits to the area. We will announce final decisions in 2019.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK is fully committed to the global eradication of polio. The Secretary of State for International Development makes the most of opportunities to raise awareness of polio eradication efforts and, wherever appropriate, discusses polio with her international counterparts. For example, last year the Secretary of State for International Development made a key note speech at Rotary International with representatives from India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Indonesia, along with key polio campaigners and global health bodies.</p><p> </p><p>The UK continues to be a strong supporter of global polio eradication efforts. In 2013, the UK committed £300 million over six years to polio eradication, which will help vaccinate up to 360 million children. The UK actively participates in the global Polio Oversight Board, helping to ensure a strong focus on results and achieving eradication. We are very close to making polio the second human disease in history to be wiped out, and it is crucial to maintain international momentum</p>
