Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what his timeframe is for publishing the terms of reference for the Integrated Rail Plan study into (a) how to bring HS2 trains to Leeds from East Midlands Parkway and (b) capacity at Leeds station.
We will set out the Terms of Reference for the studies set out in the IRP shortly. We will continue to liaise closely with West Yorkshire Combined Authority and Leeds City Council in the meantime.
