High Speed Two: Cost Effectiveness
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to ensure HS2 Ltd delivers value for money.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
We are carefully reviewing the position the government has inherited on rail infrastructure, including how to best support economic growth as well as addressing delivery and capacity challenges. We are looking at ways to improve HS2 Ltd's delivery and HMG oversight, whilst working with the incoming HS2 Ltd CEO to ensure HS2 is delivered to schedule and at the lowest reasonable cost, and we will set out detailed plans in due course.
