The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the redevelopment of Liverpool Street Station on the surrounding heritage buildings.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The initial plans brought forward by a previous developer have now been replaced by a revised scheme. This new approach seeks to address heritage concerns while preserving the benefits of commercial development. Crucially, it enables significant improvements to the station’s capacity and facilities without any cost to the taxpayer.
