Written Question
High Speed 2 Railway Line
Tuesday 26th April 2016

Asked by: Baroness Jowell (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what they estimate will be the net gain in social housing from the planned route for HS2.

Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

For Phase One the Government has committed to work with local authorities, housing associations, tenants and other key stakeholders in order to ensure that lost social rented housing is replaced in a manner sympathetic to local needs and reflective of the strategic approach to social housing driven by local authorities. Naturally the approach adopted for Phase One will inform that for Phase Two.
