Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the HS2 project is within budget and on schedule; and what steps they are taking to ensure that it is delivered within budget and on schedule.
HS2 is on time and on budget.
The Development Agreement between the Secretary of State for Transport and HS2 Ltd sets out a series of obligations and commitments on cost control and schedule. This agreement was originally signed by both parties in 2014 and has recently been extensively reviewed and republished in July 2017.
