High Speed 2 Line
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what her planned timetable is for making available land acquired by the Government for cancelled northern legs of HS2.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
My department is thoroughly reviewing the position we have inherited before setting out more detailed plans in due course, including future plans for HS2 Phase 2b safeguarding and a disposal programme for land and property acquired for HS2 that is no longer required. We expect to be able to provide further detail of our intended approach for Phase 2b safeguarding during the summer. Any land acquired for Phase 2 that is no longer required will be sold in line with Treasury rules through a disposal programme.
