Speaking in the Commons, Mr Tugendhat said: "It's come to a pretty pass when a member finds out that works have begun on a motorway to turn that motorway into a parking lot without consultation either with the local community or with surrounding members.
"The M26 works started last night. I wrote to (Mr Grayling) in April asking whether or not this would happen.
"I was assured the works were not planned and only yesterday was it confirmed to me that Highways England had said that is exactly what was planned, despite having told me the reverse a week earlier."
He urged Mr Grayling to explain how the planning permission was granted with "no consultation".
