Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government, following cancellation of parts of HS2 in October 2023, which remaining HS2 investments they plan to re-designate for short-term rail projects over the next 10 years.

This government is currently reviewing the position it has inherited on rail infrastructure, and will consider how we address capacity needs whilst maintaining financial discipline. We will set out our plans in due course.
