Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will place in the Library of the House copies of all reports required to be produced under section 2 of the High Speed Rail (Preparation) Act 2013; and, if so, to include the dates on which those reports were presented to Parliament.

There have been four reports published under the High-Speed (Preparation) Act 2013, covering the periods from:

• 21 November 2013 - 31 March 2015, published in November 2015

• 1 April 2015 – 31 March 2016, published in October 2016

• 1 April 2016 - 31 March 2017, published in October 2017

• 1 April 2017 - 31 March 2018, published in March 2019

  The expenditure report of 1 April 2015 – 31 March 2016, was placed in the libraries of both Houses in October 2016.

  We will place the other copies of the published reports in the libraries of both Houses, as well as the upcoming report covering the period 1 April 2018 – 31 March 2019, once published.
