Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the level of construction materials available to rail infrastructure projects.
The availability of construction materials is regularly reviewed by High Speed Two (HS2) Limited, Network Rail, and the Department for Transport. Our latest assessments do not currently predict an impact on the cost and schedule ranges, published in the HS2 March 2021 Parliamentary Report, or Network Rail’s Control Period Budget.
