Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill on 13 February (HL5039), what is the latest status of any revisions to the Crossrail 2 safeguarded route proposed by Transport for London in 2020 which are yet to be approved; and what is the timescale and next steps to complete the safeguarding of such revisions.

As previously advised, development of Crossrail 2 was paused in 2020. Whilst the department currently has no plans to move forward with Crossrail 2, the route remains safeguarded to protect it from conflicting development and officials from my department regularly have discussions with Transport for London regarding this scheme and their other transport priorities.
