High Speed 2 Railway Line

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will publish the Treasury internal review into HS2 reported in the Financial Times on 17 October 2022.

Answer

We will not comment on the detail of leaked reports or on commercially sensitive matters. HS2 is well underway delivering vital infrastructure investment to contribute to Britain’s economic growth with 27,000 people working on it already.

We do not intend to publish the review as this was internal advice to the Minister for HS2. We report on the programme's status to Parliament every six months and Ministers will provide their next update to Parliament shortly.
