To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to ensure that hybrid legislative proposals for Crossrail 2 will be ready to be brought before Parliament in 2019; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 9th November 2016
A robust business case and funding plan will provide the foundations to allow Crossrail 2 development to progress at pace before, during, and after a Hybrid Bill. An extensive programme of work is being undertaken to prepare to deposit a Hybrid Bill, in line with recommendations made by the National Infrastructure Commission, subject to Parliamentary time allowing and approval of the business case.
