Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to establish a review of the HS2 Ltd. property portfolio in London; and if so, (1) who will be appointed to conduct the review, and (2) when they estimate such a review will be (i) completed, and (ii) published.

HS2 Ltd continues to acquire land and property needed for, or impacted by, HS2 across all phases of the route, including around Euston, under a range of statutory and non-statutory property compensation schemes. Once the programme’s land requirements have been finalised, it is anticipated that surplus land and property will be offered for sale in accordance with established rules and on the open market when the effects of property blight have sufficiently diminished. The Government keeps the property acquisition programme and potential disposal options under continual internal review.
