The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has asked HS2 Limited to make an assessment of the potential impact of the provision of funding for a railway station at East Birmingham on the regeneration of that area.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

HS2 Ltd has defined scope to deliver two HS2 stations in the West Midlands: Birmingham Curzon Street and Interchange. These stations will have a transformative economic impact on the wider city, including East Birmingham. There are no plans for an additional HS2 station in East Birmingham.
