Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he plans to make a decision on the Crossrail 2 business case; and if he will make a statement.

The Department supports the need for the capacity improvements that Crossrail 2 could bring to London and the wider South East. We are currently analysing the business case to ensure it is a robust investment with a credible funding plan. Our next steps to deliver those capacity improvements will be decided when that analysis is complete.
