Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the timetable is for the details of the review of High Speed 2 Phase One to be agreed with the Infrastructure and Projects Authority; and if he will publish those details once so agreed.
The next review of HS2 Phase One will take place in September 2018, and the Terms of Reference will be agreed with the Infrastructure and Projects Authority over the summer. We do not publish either the terms of reference or the outcomes of these reviews as this would prejudice the safe space for policy formulation.
