High Speed 2 Line: Iron and Steel

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of using Sheffield and Rotherham steel in the construction of HS2.

Answer

HS2 Ltd has engaged extensively with the British steel industry over the last five years, including organisations with facilities in Sheffield and Rotherham. HS2 Ltd hold 'Meet the Contractor' events for potential suppliers regularly and I would encourage businesses across Sheffield and Rotherham to sign-up to one of these events.
