To ask Her Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the current cost of the tunnel proposal at Bromford on HS2 Phase One; and what assessment they have made of the impact of the Transport and Works Act 1992 Order procedure used for its construction on the time it will take to introduce HS2 Phase One services.

The proposed tunnel extension at Bromford is estimated to result in a net saving of £70 million (base date 2018) compared to the original surface route. HS2 Ltd plans for finalising the Transport and Works Act Order are proceeding to schedule and the consent procedure is not expected to have any adverse impact on the introduction of HS2 Phase One services.
