Lord Davies of Gower (Con)
The contract with HS2 and Alstom will go forward in terms of phase 1.
Lord Watts (Lab)
My Lords, the Minister says that there will be investment in the railways. We know that there is money being kept safe from the cancellation of High Speed 2; how much of that is going to be transferred to northern schemes, because it looks quite clear that the Government are transferring money intended for the north down to the south?
Lord Davies of Gower (Con)
If I am correct, I believe it was somewhere in the region of £30 billion to £34 billion.
