Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will (1) place in the Library of the House plans and other documentation demonstrating that the latest design for the HS2 tunnel approaches to Euston Station is within the limits of deviation specified in the High Speed Rail (London–West Midlands) Act 2017, or (2) set out how the changes to the design and the Environmental Statement are within the scope of the Act; and what plans they have to consult on these changes.

The latest design for works within Euston Approaches are within the limits of deviation specified in the High Speed Rail (London - West Midlands) Act 2017. It should be noted that these designs are well developed, but not yet finalised in all areas. As the design of the Euston Tunnels is developed and finalised, HS2 Ltd will continue to check that it is compliant with the scope and requirements prescribed in the Act and the Environmental Statement. HS2 Ltd has engaged with affected parties in the development of the current design and will continue to do so through to delivery of the work.
