Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the latest status in safeguarding the route for Crossrail 2; what is their timescale; and what steps they need to take to complete the safeguarding.

Although development of Crossrail 2 was paused in 2020, the route remains safeguarded to protect it from conflicting development. Officials from my department regularly discuss the scheme with Transport for London.
