Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what are the (1) legal limits, (2) the existing levels, (3) maximum daily mean averages, and (4) maximum hourly mean levels, for (a) NO2, (b) PM10, (c) PM2.5, and (d) O3 levels, for each of the routes being taken or planned by trucks moving spoil and material to or from the HS2 Euston sites; and, in each case, what are the expected values after HS2 has stopped using rail freight for moving spoil and materials.

No decisions have been made in relation to the removal of spoil and material from Euston by rail.

Once a decision is determined, an assessment on the potential impacts (including air quality) will be undertaken. Any decision that is made will need to comply with the Environmental Minimum Requirements that apply to the HS2 scheme.
