High Speed 2 Line: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what financial support she has provided to areas affected by HS2 cancellation for inherited liabilities and costs incurred.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
We are mindful that the previous Government’s decision to cancel Phases 2a and 2b had a significant impact on local communities. The Department has been working with HS2 Ltd to minimise as far as is possible the disruption caused by this decision for local authorities and affected landowners.
