Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made an assessment of the effect on the economy in Broxtowe of the proposed route for HS2.
Whilst no specific assessment of the effect of HS2 on the economy of Broxtowe has taken place, I am aware that the East Midlands HS2 Growth Strategy, published by East Midlands Councils, reports that HS2 has the potential to deliver an additional 74,000 jobs and £4bn of Gross Value Added to East Midlands region by 2043.
